The Scottish Nation: Identity and History: Essays in Honour of William Ferguson

by Alexander Murdoch (Editor), Edward J. Cowan (Editor), Richard Finlay (Editor)

Written by his former colleagues and students—who are now leading historians—the essays in this resource are a tribute to William Ferguson, a pioneering scholar who has published major work on modern Scottish history and its importance to the Scottish identity. These accounts reflect the impressive range of Ferguson’s interests, from medieval history to present day, and pay homage to both his controversial subjects as well as his contribution to the revival of Scottish history as part of Scottish culture and politics.
