| Summary: | Christopher Harvie, one of Scotland's leading historians and political writers, takes a long view of Scotland, including its land, people and culture. Scotland: A History sweeps from the earliest settlements to the new Parliament of 1999 and beyond. It describes the unique multi-ethnic kingdom which emerged from the Dark Ages, the small, proud nation maneuvring among the great powers of medieval Europe, and the radical reformation which forced a compromise with its mighty southern neighbor. Harvie follows Scotland's tense partnership with England for over 400 years, through dual monarchy and union, enlightenment and empire, industrialization and de-industrialization. |
