Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sidelights on the History, Industries and Social Life of Scotland In respect of their subject-matter, the score of essays contained in this volume divide themselves into two distinct classes. Those that have been brought to gether in the first part deal with certain matters of intrinsic interest, though of minor importance, in the history of Scotland, or with individuals connected with it as secondary and therefore comparatively little known characters. The second part consists of a number of papers that convey some notion of the social and industrial condition of the country, mainly, though not quite exclusively, prior to the Union. It will also be found that the studies which constitute the first section fall into two separate groups. The former of these is illustrative of the relations between Scotland and France under the reigns of James I and James II. For the latter, materials have been gathered from that of James IV.

Download or read book Edinburgh and the Reformation written by Michael Lynch and published by Birlinn Ltd. This book was released on 2004-01-20 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edinburgh's reformation was one of the last of the great city reformations of the sixteenth century. It took on a highly distinctive shape due to the burgh's social and economic problems and its position as a cockpit for English policy in Scotland and the shifting factionalism of Scottish politics. In studies of the Scottish Reformation, too little attention has been paid to the nature of Scottish society itself. In a society so conscious of rank, tradition and precedent, the Reformation was only likely to make progress where it did not disturb the existing order, and in Edinburgh the new religion was obliged to work within the natural constraints of burgh life. This book shows that the early promise of the Protestant reformers of a new society provoked a backlash and had to be abandoned for a new conciliatory approach. The result was that power remained in much the same hands in the 1580s as it had in the 1540s, with one real difference – there was more of it.

Download or read book The Early Modern Town in Scotland written by Michael Lynch and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-10-12 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1987, this volume filled a notable gap in Scottish urban history and considers the place of Scottish towns in urban life during the 16th and 17th Centuries. The first part of the book is based on studies of individual burghs (Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and Perth) drawing extensively on archival material. The second part includes a discussion of the pressure put upon the burghs by the town between 1500 and 1650, a process which contributed to the destruction of the medieval burgh and examines the burgh during the Scottish Revolution. The impact of war and plague on Scottish towns in the 1640s is also analysed and much emphasis is given to the relationship between town and country.
Download or read book She is But a Woman written by Fiona Anne Downie and published by Birlinn Ltd. This book was released on 2006-10-23 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: She is but a Woman, the first in-depth study of medieval Scottish queens, investigates the relationship between gender and power in the medieval Scottish court by exploring the art of queenship as practised by Joan Beaufort and Mary of Guelders, queens of James I and James II. These women were excluded from authority but clearly possessed power as wives and mothers of kings. They established and cultivated relationships with members of the court, learned about Scottish political life and supported their husbands in the business of government. The book examines for the first time the arrivals of Joan and Mary in Scotland, their social and political status, their relationships with their husbands and families, and their roles in international diplomacy. This modern re-evaluation of the role and power of the medieval queen is a thematic exploration rather than a biographical study. It situates the experiences of Joan and Mary within a broader European context and provides a new perspective on Scotland's political, social and cultural links with Europe in the fifteenth century.
