This is a study of Scottish society from the defeat of the last
Jacobite rebellion at Culloden in 1746 to the passing into law of
the Scottish Reform Bill in July 1832. It is a period when the
Scottish Enlightenment reached and perhaps passed its peak, but if
the earlier decades saw the rise of some of the most influential
thinkers of the contemporary world, the latter part of the period
saw a flourishing of imaginative literature. Economically, the
period saw quite unprecedented change in the Lowlands, in the
HIghlands, too, though there the transformation demanded by the
more advanced areas of the British Isles proved incompatible with
an ancient culture and way of life. Bruce Lenman's account catches
the hey-day of the Ancien Regimein Scotland, but an Ancien Regime
that after Culloden was totally committed to integrating into Great
Britain. The people who mattered were the North Britons, and the
creative minds of the period had to find a place within the chains
of patronage and dependency that held North British society
together.
