The essays in this volume--the first full-length study of the subject in fifty years-examine the complex history of clubs and societies in Scotland from 1700 to 1830. Contributors address attitudes toward associations, their meeting-places and rituals, their links with the growth of the professions and with literary culture, and the ways in which they were structured by both class and gender. By widening the context in which societies are set, this volume offers a new framework for understanding them, bringing together the inheritance of the Scottish past, the unique and cohesive polite culture of the Scottish Enlightenment, and the broader context of associational patterns common to Britain, Ireland, and beyond"-- Provided by publisher Analysis Eighteenth-Century Studies, Scotland, Nineteenth-Century, Clubs, Societies, Class, Culture, Gender, Scottish Enlightenment, Britain, Ireland, History, Literary Culture, Edinburgh Notes Description based upon print version of record Subject Clubs -- Scotland -- History -- 18th century Clubs -- Scotland -- History -- 19th century Societies -- Scotland -- History -- 18th century Societies -- Scotland -- History -- 19th century HISTORY / General Clubs Societies Scotland Genre/Form History Form Electronic book Author Wallace, Mark C., editor Rendall, Jane, 1945- editor.
