Download or read book An Outline of the Relations between England and Scotland 500 1707 written by Robert S. Rait and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-09-04 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 'An Outline of the Relations between England and Scotland (500-1707)', Robert S. Rait provides a unique perspective on the history of these two countries. Unlike other history books that occasionally mention Anglo-Scottish relations, Rait presents a connected narrative of the attitude of the two countries towards each other, providing the data required for a fair appreciation of the policy of Edward I and Henry VIII, or of Elizabeth and James I. The book also explores the racial relationship between England and Scotland, addressing the prevalent theory that the Scottish Lowlanders were "English in speech and manners" and even blood. Rait argues for a modification of this theory, suggesting that historical evidence shows a process of adoption of English manners and language rather than a complete displacement of the Scottish population. This compelling book offers a fresh perspective on the history of two countries that have long been intertwined.
