This book examines the literary negotiation of Anglo-Scottish relations in the century following the 1707 Union between Scotland's and England's parliaments. By tracing Scottish sentiment from Jacobite poetry and Enlightenment history to late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century fiction, Juliet Shields explores the unexpected connections between the development of sentimental literature and British nationhood.
