This lively and erudite cultural history of Scotland, from the
Jacobite defeat of 1745 to the death of an icon, Sir Walter Scott,
in 1832, examines how Scottish identity was experienced and
represented in novel ways. Weaving together previously unpublished
archival materials, visual and material culture, dress and textile
history, Viccy Coltman re-evaluates the standard cliches and
essentialist interpretations which still inhibit Scottish cultural
history during this period of British and imperial expansion. The
book incorporates familiar landmarks in Scottish history, such as
the visit of George IV to Edinburgh in August 1822, with
microhistories of individuals, including George Steuart, a
London-based architect, and the East India Company servant, Claud
Alexander. It thus highlights recurrent themes within a range of
historical disciplines, and by confronting the broader questions of
Scotland's relations with the rest of the British state it makes a
necessary contribution to contemporary concerns.
