Routledge Scotland and Nationalism: Scottish Society and Politics 1707 to the Present

Product Description Scotland and Nationalism provides an authoritative survey of Scottish social and political history from 1707 to the present day. Focusing on political nationalism in Scotland, Christopher Harvie examines why this nationalism remained apparently in abeyance for two and a half centuries, and why it became so relevant in the second half of the twentieth century.This fourth edition brings the story and historiography of Scottish society and politics up-to-date. Additions also include a brand new biographical index of key personalities, along with a glossary of nationalist groups. Review Praise for the third edition: 'This is a brilliant book, packed with learning and imagination.' - The ScotsmanPraise for the third edition: 'Scotland and Nationalism provides a bold and imaginative lead into difficult territory and has more ideas within a page or two than many a definitive work in its entirety.' - The Times Literary Supplement
