This is a stunning overview of the medieval landscape of Scotland.
This is a history of the forging of the Scottish kingdom during the
first three centuries of the second millennium. G. W. S. Barrow
describes the evolution of Scottish kingship and government during
the period, in the process examining the character of Scottish
feudalism and the manner of its imposition. He discusses the
social, economic and political changes of the period, with separate
chapters on the expansion of towns and trade, the role of the
church, and advances in education and learning. A sense of national
identity had, he argues, become sufficiently strong by the end of
the 13th century for the country to survive humiliation by Edward I
and to reunite under Robert Bruce. With Bruce's coronation as
Robert I in 1306 this richly detailed and readable account of
Scotland's formative period comes to an end. Since its first
edition in 1981, this revised edition in The New History of
Scotland series, as indicated in the preface by the series editor
Jenny Wormald, can now rightly take its place amongst the classics
of Scottish history. It was long seen as a key text for students of
medieval Scotland. It is written by a respected and renowned
historian. It is readable, cinematic and yet scholarly in its
scope.
