Dundee: Renaissance to Enlightenment
This fascinating title traces the evolution of Dundee from wealthy renaissance port - and second city of Scotland - to international textiles manufacturer and trader. Until now, despite being at the heart of key events in Scottish history, Dundee has remained invisible behind its later Victorian mask. Now Dundee: Renaissance to Enlightenment examines Dundee thoroughly in a rich mixture of urban, economic, political, social, medical, cultural, imperial, maritime and architectural histories.
The book contains over 100 illustrations, specially selected for this volume, many of which have never been seen before. These are integral to the story and are used to explain or illuminate history. This book helps to recover Dundee's rightful place in European history, and offers Scots a different perspective on their national history.
