| Description: |
On James VI's succession to the English throne in 1603, the Scots were troubled at the prospect of Scotland's nationhood being absorbed by a supremely confident and intolerant England. This title deals with their strategic response to develop a self-conscious attention to Scotland's past. |
| Synopsis: |
The non-institutionalized nature of Scottish society made it difficult for the Scots to produce a long and respectable history to vie with England's much-vaunted and impressive pedigree. The idea that the Scots seized on to define and validate their identity was that of the covenant with God - and this had profound and far-reaching results. This original and stimulating book provides a valuable contribution to the understanding of the processes of secularization in early modern Europe, and indicates the significant ways in which the Scottish experience differed from that of England. It therefore provides a useful corrective to an Anglocentric interpretation of 'Britain'. |
