Skickas inom 3-6 vardagar
This book explores serious criminality in Scotland between 1660 and c.1700. Through in-depth analysis of the records of the Justiciary Court, Scotland's central criminal jurisdiction, it reconstructs the meaning of 'crime' as understood by seventeenth-century Scots, before moving on to assess patterns of prosecution, the causes of crime, the performance of criminality, and wider response to illegal behaviour, all with a view to reconstructing the social meaning of crime. The result is an unprecedentedly detailed and systematic account of criminal behaviour which adds a completely new perspective to our understanding of early modern Scotland.

Scottish Privy Council from Revolution to Union, 1689 to 1708

Before 1708, the Privy Council was the Scottish government. Its records are the nearest we have to cabinet papers and they cover almost every conceivable aspect of the nation’s history. Historians of early modern Scotland frequently refer to those records but not always comprehensively. This is the first book to examine the council itself. Its primary focus is the period from the 1689 revolution to the Anglo-Scottish union of 1707. This was an extraordinary age in Scottish and British history which is imperfectly understood because the council’s role remains largely obscure.The book provides a thematic overview of a wide selection of the council’s activities in this period, covering high politics, Jacobitism and prisoners of war, religious policy and persecution of religious minorities, interaction between the council and the other institutions of the nation, approaches to the economy and the environment, efforts to maintain social order and to respond to the petitions and concerns of all levels of society.

Conventional accounts of the Scottish Highlands tend to assume that they remained detached from the mainstream of British affairs until well into the eighteenth century. In Governing Gaeldom, Allan Kennedy challenges this perception through detailed analysis of the relationship between the Highlands and the Scottish state during the reigns of Charles II and James VII & II.Drawing upon a wide range of sources, Kennedy traces the political, social, ecclesiastical and economic linkages between centre and periphery, demonstrating that the Highlands were much more tightly integrated than hitherto assumed. At the same time, he reconstructs the development of Highland policy, placing it within its proper context of the absolutist pretensions of the late-Stuart monarchy. The result is a thorough reinterpretation which offers fresh insights into the process of state-formation in early-modern Britain.The volume has been awarded the Frank Watson Book Prize for 2015.
