Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. 1st Oxford University Press Edition. Paperback. Slight mark to top edge of back cover. 'There is a matter for dispute on every page. This will be a partial, opinionated portrait by a Scot of his fellow countrymen as they have presented themselves', writes Iain Finlayson in his 'Cautionary Foreword' of this penetrating and entertaining analysis of the Scottis psyche. The Scots are generally perceived to be proud, poor, prejudived, and xenophobic, deriving their sense of national identity from a past that is endlessly energetically, and often erroneopusly debated amongst themselves. Their history is a subject which animates them like no other, and it is a brave man who will attempt publicly to state his own interpretation. This book will inlame passions and prejudices, raise hackles and arouse amusement or anger. it will not take apathy for an answer. Above all, it alerts Scots and non-Scots to the influences and impulses - conscious or unconscious - that have shaped the Scottish national character. Iain Finlayson describes himself as a Lowland Presbyterian Scot who has spent most of the past sixteen years in exile in England. Illustrated. 272 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
