Paperback. Zustand: Good. THERE ARE NO TARIFFS OR CUSTOMS DUTIES ON BOOKS. This volume looks at the way that perceptions of Scottish identity have changed through the centuries, from early medieval to modern times.'The idea of Scotland as a single country, corresponding to the realm of the king of Scots, and of the Scots as all the kingdom's inhabitants, may only have taken root during the 13th century.' - Dauvit Broun' The 18th century is marked by a period of often competing Scottish identities, and the emergence of the British state as a complicating factor in the equation.' - R. J. Finlay' Scottish identity has never been a fixed, immutable idea, whether held in the head or in the gut . . . some of the most enduring myths of Scotland's Protestant identity were, like Ireland's Catholic identity, creations of the 19th century: they included Jenny Geddes as a Protestant Dame Scotia, throwing a stool into the works of an Anglican-style church, and the Magdalen Chapel in Edinburgh, the home of a staunchly Catholic graft guild throughout much of the 1560s becoming the "workshop of the Reformation" in John Knox's time.' - Michael Lynch Some minor creasing to front cover, otherwise a good copy.
