More about the book
The transition from an aristocratic ideal of courtliness to a bourgeois ideal of gentility is well documented in European culture. The development is a commonplace, but there were special factors present in Scotland which were not present in England or indeed elsewhere in Europe. These make the Scottish situation unusually interesting.The chapters of this book were delivered as the Alexander Lectures at the University of Toronto in March 1980.
