Using untapped archival sources from Britain, France and America,
Talbott presents a comparative view of British relations with
France over the long seventeenth century.
Using untapped archival sources from Britain, France, and America,
Talbott presents a comparative view of British relations with
France over the long 17th century. Contrary to the accepted view,
she argues that the Scottish-French alliance continued undiminished
following the 1560 Treaty of Edinburgh and the British Unions of
1603 and 1707.
The Miscellany of the Scottish History Society brings together
critical editions of important and previously unpublished
manuscripts of relevance to Scottish History. As well as providing
transcriptions, the editors introduce and explain the context of
documents which have been neglected or even unknown to historians,
providing a valuable resource for researchers, students, and all
those interested in exploring Scottish history through the original
sources. Volume XV focuses on the turbulent middle decades of the
seventeenth century, offering editions of three vital but
previously unpublished manuscript sources for this period: the
Letter-Book of John Clerk of Penicuik, 1644-1645; the Minute Book
of The Board Of The Green Cloth, July 1650 - July 1651; and the
Records of the Anglo-Scottish Union Negotiations, 1652-1653. With a
particular emphasis on the economic and political history of the
period, the records offer valuable insights on trade networks and
commodities, and on the upheavals following in the wake of the
execution of Charles I. They also help to place Scottish history in
a wider British and European context, by highlighting mercantile
networks and the negotiations for Anglo-Scottish Union under Oliver
Cromwell. Together, they comprise an essential resource for those
interested in seventeenth-century history.
