Narrating Scotland
Author: Barry Menikoff
Publisher: Univ of South Carolina Press
ISBN: 9781570035685
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
Narrating Scotland traces the Scottish writer's weaving together of source material from memoirs, letters, histories, and records of trials. Barry Menikoff uncovers the documentary basis for reading Kidnapped and David Balfour as political allegories and reveals the skill with which Stevenson offered a narrative that British colonizers could enjoy without being offended by its underlying condemnation.

Clanship, Commerce and the House of Stuart, 1603-1788
Author: Allan I. MacInnes
Publisher: Birlinn Ltd
ISBN: 1788854047
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 259
Book Description
This is an appraisal of clanship both with respect to its vitality and its eventual demise, in which the author views clanship as a socio-economic, as well as a political agency, deriving its strength from personal obligations and mutual service between chiefs and gentry and their clansmen. Its demise is attributed to the throwing over of these personal obligations by the clan elite, not to legislation or central government repression. The book discusses the impact on the clans of the inevitable shift, with the passage of time, from feudalism to capitalism, regardless of the "Forty Five". It draws upon estate papers, family correspondence, financial compacts, social bonds and recorded oral tradition rather than the biased records of central government.
