Emblems in the visual arts use motifs which have meanings, and in
Emblems in Scotland Michael Bath, leading authority on Renaissance
emblem books, shows how such symbolic motifs address major
historical issues of Anglo-Scottish relations, the Reformation of
the Church and the Union of the Crowns. Emblems are enigmas, and
successive chapters ask for instance: Why does a late-medieval
rood-screen show a jester at the Crucifixion? Why did Elizabeth I
send Mary Queen of Scots tapestries showing the power of women to
build a feminist City of God? Why did a presbyterian minister of
Stirling decorate his manse with hieroglyphics? And why in the
twentieth-century did Ian Hamilton Finlay publish a collection of
Heroic Emblems?
