The Life and Works of Robert Baillie (1602-1662) by Alexander D Campbell
First full study of the life and career of the Glaswegian minister Robert Baillie, establishing his significance and influence.
[A] vital account* SCOTTISH CHURCH HISTORY *
A fresh look at a well-known figure. Nicely structured around a set of central themes, [it] offers many new perspectives that will help scholars to understand not just Baillie himself but the events in which he played a part. It is a careful and impressive piece of scholarship. * JOURNAL OF BRITISH STUDIES *
Comprehensive and well researched....[It] should be essential reading for scholars of the covenanting movement and mid-seventeenth century Stuart Britain. * ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW *
Not only should this fundamentally change how we use Baillie's work as a historical source, it should also force us to reconsider how we deploy other, edited, works that were processed by the antiquarians of the nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. Like the best biographical studies, the work under review throws light on far more than the subject at the centre of his study. * NORTHERN SCOTLAND *
Future biographers would do well to draw influence from Campbell's work on Baillie. * INNES REVIEW *
