Scotland and America, c.1600-c.1800 by Alexander Murdoch
While the literature relating to Scottish contact with America has grown significantly in recent years, the influence of America on Scotland and its early modern history has been neglected in favour of a preoccupation with Scottish influence on the formation of North American national identities.
"..evaluates the transatlantic context within which Scotland became defined by union with England, and it is this thesis which most clearly differentiates Murdoch's important study from the substantial stable of other publications on Scottish-American relations in the post-union period." -Marjorie Harper, History "Few scholars today would dispute ... the Scottish Enlightenment made a major contribution to the developing culture of colonial, revolutionary and postrevolutionary America. To that impressive body of recent scholarship, Alexander Murdoch's book is a most welcome addition." - Andrew Hook, The Journal of American Studies "The most original contribution of Murdoch's book is his investigation of the influences originating in America and impacting events and perceptions in Scotland during the nineteenth century." - Martin Clagett, Eighteenth-Century Scotland "An accessible, and admirably concise, introduction to many key themes." - Elizabeth Ritchie, Northern Scotland
