In 1637 Scotland exploded in rebellion against King Charles I. The rebellion sought not only to undo hated anglicising policies in the Church, but to reverse the wholesale transfer of power to London which had followed the 1603 Union of the Crowns. The Covenanters fought for a Scottish parliament free from royal control as well as for a Presbyterian Church. Their success was staggering. When the king refused to make concessions they widened their demands, and when he planned to conquer Scotland with armies from England and Ireland, they occupied the north of England with their own army and even forced the humiliated king to pay for it. The Covenanters had triumphed, but the triumph proved fragile, as their success destabilised Charles I’s other two kingdoms. The Scots had proved how brittle the seemingly absolute monarchy really was. First the Irish followed the Scottish army and revolted, then in 1642 England collapsed into civil war. How were the Covenanters to react? In the three-kingdom monarchy, Scotland’s fate would depend on the outcomes of the Irish and English wars. It was decided that Scotland’s national interests – and doing God’s will – made it necessary to send armies to intervene in both Ireland and England to enforce a settlement on all three kingdoms that would protect Scotland’s separate identity and impose Scottish Presbyterianism on all of them. As the Covenanters launched an invasion of England in 1644 their hopes were high. Political realism and religious fanaticism were leading them to launch a bold bid to replace English dominance of Britain with Scottish

Free Download R.J.W. Mills, "Religion and the Science of Human Nature in the Scottish Enlightenment"
English | ISBN: 3031490304 | 2023 | 348 pages | PDF | 7 MB
This book examines how enlightened Scottish social theorists c.1740 to c.1800 understood the origin and development of religion. Challenging scholarly disregard for the topic, it shows how most prominent thinkers of the Scottish Enlightenment thought deeply about the relationship between religion, human nature and historical change. The Scots viewed this relationship as an important strand within the study of the ‘science of human nature’ and the ‘history of man.’ The fruits of this investigation were a sophisticated and innovative account of religious change that is characterized by a striking modernity and naturalism, even by the more devout theorists. The views of the literati surveyed here need to be incorporated into our larger histories of the ‘science of religion’ as much as they do into our understanding of the social theory of the Scottish Enlightenment.

English | 2009 | pages: 219 | ISBN: 0838757162, 1611483115 | PDF | 1,5 mb
Why were Scottish writers able to dominate the field of periodical literature throughout the nineteenth century? This book answers this question by examining the period when the Scots’ dominance was at its height: the three decades after the founding of the Edinburgh Review in 1802. The author discusses the ways in which four writers at the vanguard of Scottish periodical writing-Francis Jeffrey, John Wilson, John Gibson Lockhart, and Thomas Carlyle-exemplify the historical and cultural dynamics that occasioned Scottish dominance of what Jurgen Habermas would later call the "public sphere." Barton Swaim is a communications advisor.
