The Scottish People and the French Revolution Reviews

'Harris has written a history that fills several gaps. The sources, both primary and secondary, are superb. Summing Up: Highly recommended.' CHOICE 'Citing an amazing array of primary sources, he [Harris] can rightly claim that this book "take[s] us a deal further into local and regional conditions than other historians have yet managed". This book will contribute to scholarly debate because of its remarkable research and the integrity and evenhandedness with which it is deployed.' Eighteenth-Century Scotland 'The book goes a long way towards filling some of the gaps in our understanding of the political culture of the 1790s. It is clear, concise and thoroughly-researched.' International Review of Scottish Studies 'Harris provides a shrewd and nuanced analysis of Scotland's political culture' English Historical Review
