"This collection contains eleven of his most important journal articles and book chapters; there are also five new pieces, including the title article on the Union, a reassessment of Mary Queen of Scots, and a new interpretation of the mysterious Gowrie Conspiracy. This volume will be of great interest to all readers with a professional, or amateur, interest in the history of Scotland from the Reformation to the Union. It is representative of a lifetime's writings by one of the foremost historians of early modern Scotland."--Jacket.
