Scotland in the Eighteenth Century: Union and Enlightenment Paperback - 2001 - 1st Edition
by David Allan
From the rear cover
Eighteenth-century Scotland underwent massive transformation. Once a small and isolated country with an unenviable reputation for poverty and instability, by 1800 it was emerging, within a triumphant British state, as an economic powerhouse, a major colonial power and an internationally-acclaimed centre of European philosophy, science and literature. In search of explanations, this full history explores the experiences and responses of a people whose world was being fundamentally reconfigured. Starting with the momentous Act of Union, it traces the unsuccessful Jacobite rebellions and bewildering encounters with commercial development, industrialisation and social change, to the extraordinary cultural achievements of the Scottish Enlightenment and the exploitation of the unprecedented opportunites available in England, India and North America. Not least, this book offers some topical and thought-provoking lessons from a dramatic period when, willingly or with great reluctance, the Scots adapted themselves to rapidly changing circumstances. It could hardly be more relevant to the issues of the British state today. David Allan is Lecturer in Scottish History at the University of St Andrews.
