Scotland and Nationalism by Christopher Harvie

First published in 1977, Christopher Harvie's acclaimed study of Scottish culture and politics since the Union of 1707, has been extensively rewritten to bring the story up-to-date and to draw on the remarkable output of Scottish historians and writers in the 1980s. Focusing on poltical nationalism in Scotland, Harvie examines why this nationalism remained apparently in abeyance for two and a half centuries, and why it became so relevant in the second half of the twentieth century. Including a brand new bibliographical index of key personalities and a glossary of nationalist groups, students of Scottish history and of politics will find this a fascinating book.

Christopher Harvie was born in Motherwell, Scotland. He was Senior Lecturer in History at the Open University and is currently Professor of British Studies in the English Seminar of Tubingen University, Germany. He has been several times Director of Seminar and visiting fellow or guest professor at
Merton and Nuffield Colleges, Oxford, Edinburgh and Strathclyde Universities, and St David's University College, Lampeter. He is Honorary Professor of Politics at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth, and also at Strathclyde University, Glasgow. Harvie has also lectured for the British Council in
France, Finland, Hungary and Germany, and for the Anglo-German Society, besides other lecture tours in Russia, Italy, the United States and Canada.
