First published in 1977, Christopher Harvie's acclaimed study of Scottish culture and politics since the Union of 1707, has been extensively rewritten to bring the story up-to-date and to draw on the remarkable output of Scottish historians and writers in the 1980s.

Focusing on poltical nationalism in Scotland, Harvie examines why this nationalism remained apparently in abeyance for two and a half centuries, and why it became so relevant in the second half of the twentieth century.

Including a brand new bibliographical index of key personalities and a glossary of nationalist groups, students of Scottish history and of politics will find this a fascinating book.
