In this interdisciplinary collaboration, an international group of
scholars have come together to suggest new directions for the study
of the family in Scotland circa 1300-1750. Contributors apply tools
from across a range of disciplines including art history,
literature, music, gender studies, anthropology, history and
religious studies to assess creatively the broad range of sources
which inform our understanding of the pre-modern Scottish family. A
central purpose of this volume is to encourage further studies in
this area by highlighting the types of sources available, as well
as actively engaging in broader historiographical debates to
demonstrate how important and effective family studies are to
advancing our understanding of the past. Articles in the first
section demonstrate the richness and variety of sources that exist
for studies of the Scottish family. These essays clearly highlight
the uniqueness, feasibility and value of family studies for
pre-industrial Scotland. The second and third sections expand upon
the arguments made in part one to demonstrate the importance of
family studies for engaging in broader historiographical issues.
The focus of section two is internal to the family. These articles
assess specific family roles and how they interact with broader
social forces/issues. In the final section the authors explore
issues of kinship ties (an issue particularly associated with
popular images of Scotland) to examine how family networks are used
as a vehicle for social organization.
