Abstract
A recent criticism of the historiography of Britain during the seventeenth century is its Anglocentric nature, focusing on the events and dates which were most important in England. Scotland in the Age of Two Revolutions adds to the increasing body of work addressing this problem. The book’s editors, Sharon Adams and Julian Goodare, lay out their case in the opening chapter of the volume, stating that this collection of work is attempting to break the frame of 1603 and 1707. Instead, they suggest that 1638 and 1689 provide a much more relevant and accurate foundation for Scotland’s seventeenth century.
