A major interpretation of the 1707 Act of Union and the making of the United Kingdom.
This book explores the political relationship between Scotland and England as it was negotiated in literature after the 1707 Act of Union. It is built around five discursive encounters between Scottish and English writers: Daniel Defoe-?Lord Belhaven, Tobias Smollett-?Henry Fielding, James Macpherson-?Samuel Johnson, William Wordsworth-?Robert Burns, and Walter Scott-?Thomas Percy.
The Anglo-Scottish union crisis is used to demonstrate the growing influence of popular opinion in this period.
Focusing predominantly on the period between April 1706 and January 1707, the book examines the attitudes and reactions of Presbyterians to the treaty and challenges many of the widely held assumptions about the role of the church and other groups during the debate.

He rejects the long-held assumption that the economy was of overwhelming importance in the Scots' acceptance of the terms of the Treaty, showing how they were able to exploit English ignorance of and indifference to Scotland to steer the settlement in their own favour. The implications of this have influenced the dynamics of the Union ever since, and are only being fully worked out in our own time.
