Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. J.-M. Dechanet OSB (illustrator). Paperback. A timely and vivid look at Scotlands long and difficult road to nationhood, re-exploring some cherished myths and unearthing a wealth of fascinating new detail. Magnus Magnussons starting point is Sir Walter Scotts classic version of Scotlands history, Tales of a Grandfather (1827-29), which has moulded the views of generations of Scottish schoolchildren. Like Scott, Magnus Magnusson is a master story teller. In investigating the many questions raised by the nations turbulent and often poignant past, he gives full weight to the living treasure of local legends and tradition which he believes has as much resonance as academic analysis.Where did the Scots come from? What is the truth about such historical figures as Macbeth, William Wallace and Robert Bruce? What was the significance of the tragic reign of Mary Queen of Scots? What was the impact of Bonnie Prince Charlie and his brutal defeat at Culloden?Incorporating the findings of many leading modern historians, Scotland: The Story of a Nation casts the nations history in a fascinating new light. It is essential reading for anyone with an interest in Scotland at this pivotal moment in its history. A look at Scotland's long and difficult road to nationhood, re-exploring some cherished myths.
