Recenzii
'In providing the first English translation of Hume's text, Paul McGinnis and Arthur Williamson have provided invaluable possibilities for anyone interested in the political, philosophical, or religious strategies of the Jacobean period. It is, in short, a major contribution to Early Modern studies... McGinnis and Williamson's translation of De Unione may well become a seminal work in the field. It is certainly required reading for anyone wishing a deeper understanding of the Scottish Renaissance or the early Jacobean years in England.' Sixteenth Century Journal 'In providing a critical edition and translation of David Hume of Godscroft's De Unione Insulae Britannicae, Paul McGinnis and Arthur Williamson have done students and scholars of early modern Britain a tremendous service. As the first translation of Hume's tract, this edition makes readily available a much neglected text.' Early Modern Literary Studies

Descriere
De Unione Insulae Britannicae (The British Union) is a unique early-seventeenth-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 nineteenth century.
