Anotácia knihy

"De Unione insulae Brittanicae" (The British Union) is a unique early-17th-century tract that urged the fusion of the Scottish and English kingdoms into a new British commonwealth with a radically new British identity. Its author, David Hume of Godscroft (1558-c.1630) was a major intellectual figure in Jacobean Scotland and the leading Scottish critic of the anglicizing policies of James VI. This is the first translation of the tract, the publication of which was suppressed and which exists only in manuscript. Hume's work is breathtakingly contemporary in some of the proposals that it makes: regional assemblies combined with a national parliament, and a call for efforts to inspire the Scottish and English people into a sense of common purpose. The language and ideas of the tract display characteristics of the Renaissance combined with elements that visibly anticipate the Enlightenment. The De Unione offers extraordinary insight into the European intellectual world prior to the rise of romantic nationalism in the early 19th century.
