Reviews

Future biographers would do well to draw influence from Campbell's work on Baillie. INNES REVIEW


Not only should this fundamentally change how we use Baillie's work as a historical source, it should also force us to reconsider how we deploy other, edited, works that were processed by the antiquarians of the nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. Like the best biographical studies, the work under review throws light on far more than the subject at the centre of his study. NORTHERN SCOTLAND Future biographers would do well to draw influence from Campbell's work on Baillie. INNES REVIEW


Comprehensive and well researched....[It] should be essential reading for scholars of the covenanting movement and mid-seventeenth century Stuart Britain.

[A] vital account. * SCOTTISH CHURCH HISTORY * A fresh look at a well-known figure. Nicely structured around a set of central themes, [it] offers many new perspectives that will help scholars to understand not just Baillie himself but the events in which he played a part. It is a careful and impressive piece of scholarship. * JOURNAL OF BRITISH STUDIES * Comprehensive and well researched....[It] should be essential reading for scholars of the covenanting movement and mid-seventeenth century Stuart Britain. * ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW * Not only should this fundamentally change how we use Baillie's work as a historical source, it should also force us to reconsider how we deploy other, edited, works that were processed by the antiquarians of the nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries.
