Making the Union Work: Scotland, 1651-1763, explores and analyses
existing narratives of Jacobitism and Unionism in late seventeenth
to mid-eighteenth century Scotland. Using in-depth archival
research, the book questions the extent to which the currency of
kinship patronage politics persisted in Scotland as the competing
ideologies of Scottish Jacobitism and British Whiggism grew. It
discusses the connection between the manifest corruption of
patronage politics and the efflorescence of the Scottish
Enlightenment. It also examines the stance taken by David Hume and
Adam Smith in defining themselves as philosophers first, Whigs
second, but Scots above all else, and analyses whether they
achieved international success because of or despite the
parliamentary union with England in 1707. Organised chronologically
and concluding with an assessment of the newly formed United
Kingdom in the decades following the 1707 union, Making the Union
Work: Scotland, 1651-1763 will be of great interest to researchers
and academics of early modern Scotland.
