Description
A landmark study of the historical roots of modern Catalan and Scottish nationalism. This comparative analysis explores the similarities and contrasts between Scotland's and Catalonia's experiences as separate nations within larger countries, from the royal marriages that united them to England and Castile in the Middle Ages, to the present day. J. H. Elliott examines the factors that have shaped their relationships with England, Spain, and other nations, shedding new light on European nationalism, separatism, and the grievances that underpin secessionist movements. By tracing the evolution of nationalist sentiment over five centuries, Elliott offers valuable insights into the complex issues surrounding Scottish and Catalan independence.
