【简 介】This collection of essays, in honour of Professor Roger A. Mason,
critically re-assesses what we understand by the terms e;Renaissancee; and
e;Reformatione; in Scottish History.Roger Mason's research in the field of
pre-modern Scottish history has proved ground-breaking and iconoclastic. He recast
late-medieval Stewart kingship within the framework of renaissance monarchy and Christian
humanism; led the application of intellectual- and literary-historical approaches to early
modern Scottish studies; and produced novel and highly influential analyses of a wide canon
of key texts, from Mair's History of Greater Britain to the writings of John Knox and George
Buchanan. This volume celebrates his e;rethinkinge; of the Renaissance and
Reformation in Scotland by applying the core elements of his historical approach to a
broader temporal period between the fourteenth and early seventeenth centuries and to a new
range of texts. Its essays, by leading scholars of pre-modern Scotland, explore aspects of
the cultural transition from medieval to renaissance, the role of historical memory in
defining and redefining Scottish identity, the interface between literature, politics and
religion in a period of confessional strife and, above all, the importance of ideas in
shaping the political and religious outlook of pre-modern Scots.
