Scotland Connected by Anna Groundwater
Scotland's history was not always one with British history, and is set perhaps to become more separate again. Scotland was at one stage an important player within Europe and also within what was the British Empire. However, the understanding of Scottish history has for centuries been obscured by the dominance of English or 'British' history. Drawing on her years of experience in teaching history students who are bewildered by the daunting task of tying Scottish dates and events into what they know of the wider world, Anna Groundwater has developed a comparative timeline which acts as an accessible point of reference. Standard textbooks can explain specific events, but students repeatedly complain about becoming bogged down in excessively detailed reading. Scotland Connected is a user-friendly and thought-provoking guide to the key events in Scottish, British and world history, readily demonstrating the connections between the three.DR ANNA GROUNDWATER currently lectures in early modern Scottish and British History at the University of Edinburgh, where she is Co-ordinator for Graduate Training in History. She is the author of several publications on Scottish history including within the popular history magazine History Scotland, and acts as a consultant to TV history programmes, appearances including on the BBC series Scotland's Clans. Her recent research includes work on a recent-ly discovered manuscript account of the celebrated Jacobean playwright Ben Jonson's epic walk to Scotland in 1618, to be published shortly.
