Description: "The common perception of the Anglo-Scottish Union of 1707 as a 'political job', stitched up by a corrupt Scottish elite behind closed doors, is robustly challenged in this study, which shows how public debate and the mobilisation of popular opinion shaped the union crisis from beginning to end."--BOOK JACKET.
