Recenzje

[A] bold study of Scotland's revolutionary politics of the mid-seventeenth century ... Stewart's careful unfolding of the great crises of the National Covenant of 1638 and the Engagement of 1648, crises that made Scottish politicians and readers alike ever more observant of what was being said and produced in London, is a model of interdisciplinary and even at times transnational scholarship.
