Over the last three decades major advances in research and scholarship have        transformed understanding of the Scottish past. In this landmark study some of the        most eminent writers on the subject, together with emerging new talents, have        combined to produce a large-scale volume which reconsiders in fresh and illuminating        ways the classic themes of the nation's history since the sixteenth century as well        as a number of new topics which are only now receiving detailed attention. Suchmajor        themes as the Reformation, the Union of 1707, the Scottish Enlightenment,        Clearances, Industrialisation, Empire, Emigration, and the Great War are approached        from novel and fascinating perspectives, but so too are such issues as the Scottish        environment, myth, family, criminality, the literarytradition, and Scotland's        contemporary history. All chapters contain expert syntheses of current knowledge,        but their authors also stand back and reflect critically on the questions which        still remain unanswered, the issues which generate dispute and controversy, and        sketch out where appropriate the agenda for future research.The Handbook also places        the Scottish experience firmly in an international historical experience with a        considerable focus on the age-old emigration of the Scottish people, the impact of        successive waves of immigrants to Scotland, and the nation's key role within the        British Empire. The overall result is a vibrant and stimulating review of modern        Scottish history - essential reading for students and scholars alike.
