Social clubs as they existed in eighteenth- and early
nineteenth-century Scotland were varied: they could be convivial,
sporting, or scholarly, or they could be a significant and dynamic
social force, committed to improvement and national regeneration as
well as to sociability. The essays in this volume examine the
complex history of clubs and societies in Scotland from 1700 to
1830. Contributors address attitudes toward associations, their
meeting places and rituals, their links with the growth of the
professions and with literary culture, and the ways in which they
were structured by both class and gender. By widening the context
in which clubs and societies are set, the collection offers a new
framework for understanding them, bringing together the inheritance
of the Scottish past, the unique and cohesive polite culture of the
Scottish Enlightenment, and the broader context of associational
patterns common to Britain, Ireland, and beyond.
