About the Book

This wide-ranging and ground-breaking book, especially relevant given Brexit and renewed Scottish independence campaigning, provides in-depth analysis of ways Scottishness has been performed and modified over the centuries. Alongside theatre, television, comedy, and film, it explores performativity in public events, Anglo-Scottish relations, language and literary practice, the Scottish diaspora and concepts of nation, borders and hybridity.  Following discussion of the 1320 Declaration of Arbroath and the real meanings of the 1706/7 Treaty of Union, it examines the differing perceptions of what the ‘United Kingdom’ means to Scots and English. It contrasts the treatment of Shakespeare and Burns as ‘national bards’ and considers the implications of Scottish scholars’ invention of ‘English Literature’.  It engages with Scotland’s language politics –rebutting claims of a ‘Gaelic Gestapo’ – and how borders within Scotland interact. It replaces myths about ‘tartan monsters’ with level-headed evidence before discussing in detail representations of Scottishness in domestic and international media.

Review :
“This book presents an interesting and wide-ranging discussion of the performance of Scottish identity at different points of history, informed largely by the author’s long and distinguished career in theatre, critical and literary studies. … I am confident that this wide-ranging account of performance in Scottish identity will be of great use to undergraduate and postgraduate students of Scottish culture, as well as to wider interested audiences.” (Stuart S. Dunmore, Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, June 11, 2023) “This book covers a lot of ground historically and generically and it is a tribute to Brown’s scholarship and synoptic talent that he makes a good fist of holding all this material together in a coherent argument.” (Media Education Journal, Issue 67, 2020)
