Description

First published in 1991 and now reissued in this Routledge Revivals edition, this scholarly work examines how the Stuart dynasty shaped modern Scottish political and cultural identity from Charles I through the Scottish National Party era. Murray Pittock traces the evolution of the Stuart myth across centuries, analysing both pro- and anti-Union propaganda that influenced Scottish society. The book offers a distinctive perspective on Scottish Jacobitism, revealing its radical political dimensions whilst contrasting this 'Jacobitism of the Left' with the romanticised Victorian interpretations that captured public imagination. Essential reading for anyone seeking to understand how historical mythology has constructed Scottish national identity and influenced contemporary political movements.

Examines pro- and anti-Union propaganda to show how competing narratives influenced Scottish political consciousness and cultural development.
