Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Hardback in grey cloth boards, previous owner's label tipped in on front endpaper, in Near Fine condition, dustwrapper unclipped, also in Near Fine condition. In a clear, protective archival wrapper. First edition, pp306, index. There can be no relationship in Europe's history more creative, significant, vexed and uneasy than that between Scotland and England. From the Middle Ages onwards the island of Britain has been shaped by the unique dynamic between Edinburgh and London, exchanging inhabitants, monarchs, money and ideas, sometimes in a spirit of friendship and at others in a spirit of murderous dislike. Tom Devine's seminal new book explores this extraordinary history in all its ambiguity, from the seventeenth century to the present. When not undermining each other with invading armies, both Scotland and England have broadly benefitted from each other's presence - indeed for long periods of time nobody questioned the union which joined them. But as Devine makes clear, it has for the most part been a relationship based on consent, not force, on mutual advantage, rather than antagonism - and it has always held the possibility of a political parting of the ways.
