Produktinformationen "A Short History of Scotland"

Andrew Lang's A Short History of Scotland offers a compact yet richly informed survey of the nation's past, moving from early tribal and medieval formations through the Wars of Independence, the Reformation, dynastic conflict, and the Union. Written in a lucid, vigorous prose characteristic of late Victorian and Edwardian historical narrative, the book balances political chronology with portraits of monarchs, churchmen, nobles, and reformers. Lang situates Scotland within the broader currents of British and European history while preserving a keen sense of its distinctive institutions, religious passions, and cultural memory. Lang, born in Selkirk in 1844, was a Scottish man of letters: poet, critic, folklorist, historian, and classical scholar. Educated at St Andrews and Balliol College, Oxford, he brought to history both antiquarian curiosity and literary grace. His deep engagement with folklore, myth, and national tradition helps explain his interest in Scotland's historical imagination, while his critical training gave him a sharp eye for contested sources and inherited legends. This volume is recommended to readers seeking an elegant introduction to Scottish history rather than an exhaustive academic monograph. It remains valuable for its narrative clarity, breadth, and distinctly Scottish sensibility.
