Eighteenth-century Edinburgh was the cradle of the Scottish
Enlightenment. The lives and ideas of its prominent figures have
received extensive treatment, but little attention has been paid to
the society which produced them. In this comprehensive study of
Edinburgh over a century of social change, R. A. Houston offers
unrivalled breadth of analysis of the ways in which urban life was
transformed. Chapters on social relationships, the use of space,
the place of the poor in Scotland's capital, religious values and
attitudes to urban living, riot and popular protest, and
developments in political economy build up to a powerful argument
about social change. As well as providing unique depth of context
for Englightenment studies, this book explains how broader changes
in social attitudes and values took root in a century which
witnessed dramatic political, economic, and intellectual
developments. It is a major contribution not only to Scottish but
also to British history.
