State and Society in Early Modern Scotland

By Julian Goodare

This is the first full scholarly study of state formation and the exercise of state power in Scotland. It sets the Scottish state in a British and European context, revealing that Scotland -- like larger and better-known states -- developed a more integrated governmental system in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It is an important and controversial contribution to the history of Scotland.
