Scotland in the 18th Century: Union and Englightenment by David W. Allan,

Scotland in the 18th Century: Union and Englightenment by David W. Allan,
B>" This is an excellent introduction to Scottish history in the 18th century which requires no previous knowledge of that history, is completely up-to-date and gives equal emphasis to politics and religion. Once a small and isolated country with an unenviable reputation for poverty and instability, by 1800 Scotland it was emerging as an economic powerhouse, a major colonial power and an internationally-acclaimed center of European philosophy, science and literature. This thematic investigation explores the experiences and responses of a people whose world was being fundamentally reconfigured and offers some topical and thought-provoking lessons from a dramatic period when, willingly or with great reluctance, the Scots adapted themselves to rapidly changing circumstances. Starting with the threshold of the Act of Union (1707) and running through to 1800 and the outbreak of the Napoleonic Wars, This book covers the impact of the Enlightenment on Scotland and Scotland's own very significant contribution to this via Adam Smith, David Hume and their circle. Setting social, cultural and economic analyses within a firm political framework, Scotland's internal story is placed in the wider context of Britain, Europe and Empire, and her role and identity within the newly united Britain assessed. With devolution and the continuing debate about Scottish independence, this is a vital and topical book. For those readers interested in Scottish or British history.

Sisters of Gore: Seven Gothic Melodramas by British Women, 1790-1843 by John Franceschina,
Sisters of Gore: Seven Gothic Melodramas by British Women, 1790-1843 by John Franceschina,
The publication of these popular 18th and 19th century plays by Catherine Gore -- the first female writer of "gentlemanly melodrama" -- and her contemporaries is a cause for celebration for all enthusiasts of theatre. Lost to both a reading and theatrical audience for at least a hundred years, the plays collected in Sisters of Gore span the development of Gothic melodrama from the 1790s to the 1840s. John Franceschina examines the background of the theatre which nurtured the genre and offers insight into how melodrama should be both analyzed and performed. From Jane Scott's popular The Old Oak Chest and Elizabeth Polack's St. Clair of the Isles to Gore's Dacre of the South, readers will relish the variety of works in this important collection as significant examples of 19th century popular culture, as hidden documents in the history of women, and as compelling, fascinating theatre.
