In early modern Scotland, religious and constitutional tensions
created by Protestant reform and regal union stimulated the
expression and regulation of opinion at large. Karin Bowie explores
the rising prominence and changing dynamics of Scottish opinion
politics in this tumultuous period. Assessing protestations,
petitions, oaths, and oral and written modes of public
communication, she addresses major debates on the fitness of the
Habermasian model of the public sphere. This study provides a
historicised understanding of early modern public opinion,
investigating how the crown and its opponents sought to shape
opinion at large; the forms and language in which collective
opinions were represented; and the difference this made to
political outcomes. Focusing on modes of persuasive communication,
it reveals the reworking of traditional vehicles into powerful
tools for public resistance, allowing contemporaries to recognise
collective opinion outside authorised assemblies and encouraging
state efforts to control seemingly dangerous opinions.
