"Everyone has an image of the Scots - whether as dreamy, tartan-clad romantics or dour, unemotional realists - and of their land as a place of heather, lochs, and glens. The truth behind these images - the reality of the Scottish heritage - is at the heart of this book. And a rich, colorful story The Scottish World tells: of ancient stone settlements perched in rugged Highlands; of invasions by Vikings, Celts, and Romans; of the emergence of a culture called Pictish; of Christian conversion and the rise of a national kirk. It is a tale of powerful rulers and of fierce clan chieftains; of men like Malcolm Canmore - the model for Shakespeare's Macbeth - James I, William Wallace, Robert the Bruce. This is a history that rises to tragedy with Mary Stuart and falls to pathos with Bonnie Prince Charlie. It is a tradition of intelligences as keen and diverse as John Knox, David Hume, Adam Smith, and Thomas Carlyle; of writers as bountiful as Robert Burns, Sir Walter Scott, James Boswell, Robert Louis Stevenson, and James M. Barrie; of the inventor James Watt and the explorer David Livingstone. In short, it is a heritage that must compel the attention and respect not only of Scots and those of Scottish descent but of everyone who would know the true breadth of culture in Britain. A group of scholars deeply versed in the history, art, and literature of Scotland - three Americans and five Scottish contributors - bring their knowledge to bear in a sweeping, highly readable survey that both chronologically and thematically reveals Scotland's culture and character. Profusely illustrated with paintings, photographs, engravings, and drawings, the book is the first comprehensive portrait of the Scottish past. The Scottish World is indispensable." - from the front and rear inside jacket flaps. …
