Tóm tắt

 "This is the first modern scholarly study of the political culture of Scotland during the 1790s. Hartis compares the emergence of 'the people' as a political force in Scotland with popular political movements in England and Ireland. He is the first to analyse Scottish responses to the French Revolution across the political spectrum
  explaining Loyalist as well as Radical opinions and organizations. He also takes regional difference into account, moving scholarly attention beyond Edinburgh and Glasgow." "This book adds significantly to the growing wealth of studies into the popular politics of the 1790s. It also sets the context for current scholarly debates about Robert Burns's engagement with the French Revolution."--BOOK JACKET.
