Beschreibung
A provocative new account of Scotland's history across a century of revolution and political instability.

This edition in the New History of Scotland series radically updates Rosalind Mitchison's Lordship to Patronage (1983), covering Scotland's history, 1625-1745.

Union, war, conquest, revolution, attempted invasions, and armed rebellions: this was an eventful time even by the standards of Scotland's turbulent history. At the same time, traditional notions of kinship and community came under strain as profound economic changes reshaped social relations and created new opportunities.

Laura A. M. Stewart and Janay Nugent explore the creative volatility of the Anglo-Scottish relationship within a European and transatlantic context. Scotland's integration into the burgeoning British imperial state proved easier for some than others; it also drew Scots into the global slave trade. This is an accessible and stimulating account of a contentious period, knowledge of which is crucial for an understanding of British history and the politics of today.

Key features:
. modernised edition in classic series
. provides an accessible guide to recent scholarly debates
. relates Scotland's political, socio-economic, and cultural development to the formation of the British imperial state, European and transatlantic migration, and the expansion of global trade
. encourages students and general readers to consider a wholistic view of early modern Scotland including community, household, gender and age of all social ranks

Laura A.M. Stewart is professor of early modern British history at the University of York. Janay Nugent is Associate Professor of History at the University of Lethbridge in Canada.
