This volume of essays explores the intellectual context of the
Anglo-Scottish Union of 1707. Challenging the received view of the
Union as a simple political job, it argues instead that the Union
was a landmark in the history of political thought. It investigates
the ideas of union, universal monarchy and empire current in Europe
and Britain before 1707, focuses on the issues of sovereignty at
the centre of the Union debate itself and concludes by studying the
aftermath of the debate in eighteenth-century discussions of
Britain's relations to Ireland and the North American Colonies.
Underlining the vitality of Scottish intellectual life before the
Enlightenment, the volume also gives unprecedented attention to the
English view of the Union, to its European setting and to its
consequences for the subsequent understanding of the British
Empire.
