Book Overview

The Bothie Of Toper-Ma-Fuosich: A Long-Vacation Pastoral is a book written by Arthur Hugh Clough and published in 1849. The book is a narrative poem that tells the story of a group of students from Oxford University who spend their summer vacation in the Scottish Highlands. The students, led by the protagonist Philip, are interested in studying the local culture and language, and they form a close bond with the people of Toper-Ma-Fuosich, a small village in the region. As the story progresses, the students become involved in the local politics and social issues of the village, including a dispute over the ownership of a piece of land. The book explores themes of class, culture, and identity, as the students grapple with their own privileged backgrounds and the realities of life in the Scottish Highlands.

It is also notable for its innovative use of form, blending elements of poetry and prose to create a unique narrative style.
