An important collection of scholarly essays examining the Scottish National Covenant and its significance within the wider political, religious and military history of the British Isles during the period 1638–1651. Edited by leading historian John Morrill, the volume brings together contributions from distinguished specialists including Margaret Steele, Edward J. Cowan, Peter Donald, Allan I. Macinnes, Edward M. Furgol, Keith M. Brown and M. Perceval-Maxwell.
The essays explore the theological origins of the Covenant, its political development, constitutional implications, military consequences and its impact on relations between Scotland, England and Ireland. By placing the Covenanter movement within a broader British framework, the contributors demonstrate how events in Scotland were central to the crises that culminated in the Wars of the Three Kingdoms and the English Civil War.
A significant academic contribution to early modern British history and an essential reference work for students of seventeenth-century Scotland, religion, politics and the Civil Wars.
