Full Description
Maurice Lee Jr. has been turning out important, and often controversial, work on the history of early-modern Scotland since the appearance of his first book in 1953. This collection contains 11 of his most important journal articles and book chapters; there are also five new pieces, including the title article on the Union, a reassessment of Mary Queen of Scots, and a new interpretation of the mysterious Gowrie Conspiracy. This volume should be of interest to all readers with a professional, or amateur, interest in the history of Scotland from the Reformation to the Union.
