This book focuses on early modern attitudes towards Scotland's
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. Alan Montgomery casts
light on a rarely discussed aspect of Scotland's historiography,
one which played a vital role in establishing early modern notions
of 'Scottishness' at a time when the country was coming to terms
with radical and traumatic changes to its position within Britain
and the wider world. 'Exploring the lives and writings of
antiquarians, poets, soldiers, pamphleteers and Enlightenment
thinkers, 'Classical Caledonia' uncovers the political, patriotic
and intellectual influences which fuelled this struggle to redefine
the character of a rapidly changing nation.
