The 1820 Scottish Rising has garnered significant scholarly attention in recent decades, with a particular focus on the local actors and regional centers involved in the uprising. This collection of essays delves into the broader political context within government and civil society that shaped the events of 1820, as well as the preparations and actions of the insurrectionists themselves. It explores the progression of the uprising, contemporary accounts, and the ways in which it has been memorialized in the years since, including through newspaper and literary testimony. Furthermore, the book examines the lasting impact of the rising, including its influence on Scottish society and culture.
In addition to the iconic march led by John Baird and Andrew Hardie, often considered the focal point of the 1820 Scottish Rising, this volume sheds light on other lesser-known insurrectionary activities that took place during the uprising. It also examines a wide range of cultural factors that complicate our understanding of 1820 and challenge traditional historical narratives.
1820: Scottish Rebellion serves as a testament to the multifaceted nature of the legacy of 1820 and encourages us to approach it from diverse perspectives that transcend disciplinary boundaries. By doing so, it prompts us to reevaluate our understanding of this significant historical event and its enduring significance.
