The English revolution is one of the most intensely-debated events in history; parallel
events in Scotland have never attracted the same degree of interest. 'Rethinking the
Scottish Revolution' argues for a new interpretation of the seventeenth-century Scottish
revolution that goes beyond questions about its radicalism, and reconsiders its place
within an overarching 'British' narrative. In this volume, Laura Stewart analyses
how interactions between print and manuscript polemic, crowds, and political performances
enabled protestors against a Prayer Book to destroy Charles I's Scottish government.
Particular attention is given to the way in which debate in Scotland was affected
by the emergence of London as a major publishing centre. The subscription of the 1638
National Covenant occurred within this context and further politicized subordinate
social groups that included women. Unlike in England, however, public debate was contained.
A remodelled constitution revivified the institutions of civil and ecclesiastical
governance, enabling Covenanted Scotland to pursue interventionist policies in Ireland
and England - albeit at terrible cost to the Scottish people
