In 1994, T.C. Smout pointed to the concentric loyalties which go to make up the identity of those who see themselves as Scottish. Building on the last decade of new research, The Centre for Scottish Studies at the University of Guelph would like to continue this discussion in the second volume in the Guelph Series in Scottish Studies. This collection explores the multi-faceted construction of Scottish identities from the medieval to the modern era. Chapter highlights include: -- Michael Newton (St. Francis Xavier) Scotland's Two Solitudes Abroad: Scottish Gaelic Immigrant Identity and Culture in North America -- Rosalind Carr (Sheffield ) Women, Presbyterianism and Political Agency: A Case-Study of the Anglo-Scottish Union -- Graeme Morton (Guelph) The Scottish nation of Jane Porter in her international setting -- Daniel Travers (Huddersfield) The Italian Job: Orcadian Identity and the legacy of its Prisoners of War -- Elizabeth Ritchie (Highlands & Islands) "A Palmful of Water for your Years": Babies, Religion and Gender among Crofting Families in Scotland, 1800-1850 -- Kenneth Baxter (Dundee) Identity, Scottish Women, and Parliament, 1918-1979 -- Katie Barclay (Queen's Belfast) Sex, Identity and Enlightenment in the Long-Eighteenth Century -- Katherine H. Terrell (Hamilton) Depicting Identity: Cartography, Chorography, and the Borders of Pre-Reformation Scotland -- John Sherry (Guelph) The Evolution of Scottish Protestant Identities in Stuart Ulster, 1603-1714.
