CENTURY OF THE SCOTTISH PEOPLE. Dieser Artikel ist nicht verfügbar.CENTURY OF THE SCOTTISH PEOPLE

A new cover reprint of the second volume of T. C. Smout’s magnificent – and indispensable – account of the Scottish people, from 1830–1950.

‘Professor Smout’s “History of the Scottish People 1560–1830” was hailed as a classic piece of social history. If you had time to read only one book on Scotland, this was it…Unfortunately, you now have to read two…“A Century of the Scottish People” is as satisfying and enlightening as its predecessor.’ John Kenyon, Observer

‘An admirable example of how academic history may yet be written for the general reader. It is deeply enjoyable, lively, packed with interesting detail, illuminating anecdote and pithy observation.’ Allan Massie, The Times

Professor T. C. Smout was educated at Leys School and at Clare College, Cambridge. He was appointed to a Personal Chair in Economic History, University of Edinburgh, in 1971, and took up his present position as Professor of Scottish History at the University of St Andrews in 1980.
