This lively and erudite cultural history examines how Scottish identity was experienced and represented in novel ways.

Recenzje

'As a cultural history, Coltman's book is exemplary, informed by considerable new archival material, shuffling her pack of slippery identity concepts with great dexterity, and lightened by flashes of wit throughout.' Robin N. Campbell, Journal of the Scottish Society for Art History
