	Blackwell the Arts and Crafts House, Lake District - Baillie Scott
		Baillie Scott was also to be influenced by the great architects and designers of the day, namely Mackintosh and Voysey.
		Baillie Scott described his preferred clientele as "...people with artistic aspirations but modest incomes" and with this in mind he invented a new type of small house by opening up the plan around a spacious living area, and extending the interior into the garden.
		Baillie Scott was perhaps better known and more highly regarded in Europe than in Britain and during his career he was commissioned to design a number of important buildings abroad.

		Baillie had the same ambition as did the famous men around her, but as a woman she had to accept the level of success afforded to women like her, Maria Edgeworth, Felicia Hemans, and others—and, clearly, that was not the same level of success enjoyed by Scott and her other male peers.
		Baillie was also far ahead of her time in critical understanding and ambition, and her intimacy with the scientific community instilled in her a penchant for experiment—in her case directed at new ways of writing poems and plays.
		Baillie probably did profit from many of Scott's comments, certainly from his experience with publishers, for he suggested how she might negotiate her contract with Longman, and their collaboration was typical for many writers as a significant part of the creative process.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Baillie, Joanna
		Baillie did not, however, approve of the Byronic hero, as is evidenced in her pointed and witty correspondence with Sir Walter Scott.
		Perhaps it was the very stability of Baillie’s serene and secluded life that gave her the courage to depict the darker side of human nature with objective, unflinching honesty and to defend her ethical and artistic principles to the end.
		Baillie’s 1831 essay “A View of the general Tenor of the New Testament regarding the Nature and Dignity of Jesus Christ” and the number of hymns and paraphrases of scripture in her 1840 Fugitive Verses testify to her intense exploration of faith after this period of loss.

	RCAHMS : highlights
		Baillie Scott went on to develop this relatively innovative design feature in his scheme for a series of twinned cottages for the Letchworth Garden City in Hertfordshire (1905).
		Baillie Scott also felt it was important to employ local building techniques where possible and therefore the Sandford Cottage was originally thatched, "This little house was built in a district of Scotland where thatching with reeds was still understood, and so this method of roofing was adopted." 1
		In 1909/10 Baillie Scott was commissioned to extend the house and a wing was added to the west creating an L-shape plan that incorporated a south-facing courtyard with three arch loggia and a tiled fountain.

		Slater said: 'This is a not too dissimilar Baillie Scott house to the threatened Majestic Hotel, the building we are desperately trying to save from demolition.
		He added: 'The great value to me was to feel his enthusiasm for Baillie Scott and his desire to do all he can to help.
		This clear, genuine support is both heartening and very encouraging to the developers to incorporate this impressive work into what will become a fine asset to them, the Isle of Man, and the tens of thousands of people worldwide who are increasingly aware of the significance of this giant among architects'.

		States that Baillie's plays are "better suited to the sober perusal of the closet than the bustle and animation of the theatre." Praises Baillie's moral example, Christian faith, and her clear and forceful style.
		Uses Baillie as a representative female theatre theorist to demonstrate "the problems women theorists encounter when moving from 'the closet' to engage critics in public space." Emphasizes Baillie's dramatic and theoretical work as a means to examine her negotiation of self and gender representation in public and domestic spheres.
		Further argues that Baillie characterizes the "masculine public sphere" as dominated by self-destructive egotism and pride while she portrays the feminine counter-public sphere with a basis in domestic action and nurturing affection.

		Baillie Scott practised in the Isle of Man until 1903 and there is an element of the Celtic faery in his designs, mingling stark originality with sentimental whimsy.
		The courtyard shows Baillie Scott at his starkest, with sheer unbroken white plaster walls and smooth undecorated round-arched cloisters.
		What is peculiarly Baillie Scott himself is the softness and gentleness of the proportions; for example, his roofs have a curious comforting depth, which Mr.

		Baillie and Scott, among other women playwrights, wrote drama that engaged these interconnected fields of theatre and science, but they did so in ways that challenged the spectral use of bodies, rendering fictive what appeared to be objective, factual, and authentic science.
		Baillie and Scott, in particular, expose not only the fictive and theatrical nature of science but also the ways in which staged science functioned as science fiction, popular and powerful in its public presentation.
		Baillie and Scott appropriate staged science as techno-gothic drama, specifically charged with scientific ideology, to challenge the roles and afflictions assigned to women by medical and scientific discourses that sought to keep them subordinate to men.

		Little is known of what led Mackay Hugh Baillie Scott (1865-1940) from his studies in 'scientific farming and estate management' at the Royal Agricultural College to being articled to the City Architect of Bath.
		But Baillie Scott had more innovative ideas in his head than could be explored in such commissions, so he resolved to develop plans for his own house.
		The stir it caused is likely to have been every bit as successful in bringing Baillie Scott to public attention, as the blanket coverage of Sarah Wigglesworth's 'Slick and Hairy' house has for her today.

		Darmstadt is a particularly appropriate place for such a reconsideration, for the last Grand Duke of Hesse, Ernst Ludwig, was a great admirer of the English and in 1898, he asked Baillie Scott and C.R.Ashbee to design two rooms in his Neuer Palais.
		But there is an ingenious slide show of Webb's Red House (done for Morris in 1859) and, right at the end of the exhibition, the two most famous entries for the Hans eines Kunstfreundes ideas competition organised by the Darmstadt magazine Innendekoration in 1901.
		Baillie Scott won, but his entry has been looked down on since because his outsides were relatively conventional.

		Suggests that Baillie never achieved acclaim beyond the literati, and asserts that praise of her work resulted from Baillie's dramatic ideas, not her execution of them in her plays.

		It was intended as a weekend retreat for Holt and his family, and demonstrates the aspiration shared by many city industrialists to find an alternative country lifestyle and establish a family seat.
		Unfortunately, two fires destroyed most of Baillie Scott's drawings and records, so Blackwell House, the only Baillie Scott building open to the public, is one of the most important surviving examples of his work.
		In his writings, Baillie Scott often stressed his idea of "the soul" of a house - a calm, still, quiet earnestness, rather than the showy pretentiousness found in many modern mansions of the time.

		As Johnstone implies, just as Scott was renowned for the grand historical sweep of his writing and Baillie for her gloomy, dignified tragedies, Grant was known for her work on what she insisted were the simple virtues of traditional Highland life.
		If unable to rival Scott in popularity -- with the exception of Byron, no writer of that generation could -- Grant was nonetheless a successful and important figure, and an understanding of her work is necessary in any attempt to develop a full picture of the early nineteenth-century Scottish literary scene.
		In part (as she later argued) as a result of her status as a linguistic outsider, the landscape and culture initially failed to appeal, despite the high expectations created by James Macpherson's "translations" of Ossian.[14] Yet she was not entirely a foreigner, as she could claim solid Jacobite and Highland antecedents.
