Пълно описание

This book focuses on early modern attitudes towards Scotlands ancient past and looks in particular at the ways in which this past was not only misunderstood, but also manipulated in attempts to create a patriotic history for the nation. Adding a new perspective on the formation of Scotlands national identity, the book documents a century-long, often heated debate regarding the extent of Roman influence north of Hadrians Wall. By exploring the lives and writings of antiquarians, poets and Enlightenment thinkers, it aims to uncover the political, patriotic and intellectual influences which fuelled this debate. Classical Caledonia casts a light on a rarely discussed aspect of Scotlands historiography, one which played a vital role in establishing early modern notions of Scottishness at a time when Scotland was coming to terms with radical and traumatic changes to its position within Britain and the wider world.
