Scottish Literacy and the Scottish Identity: Illiteracy and Society in Scotland and Northern England, 1600–1800 - Cambridge Studies in Population, Economy and Society in Past Time
Houston, R. A. (University of St Andrews, Scotland)
A campaign promoted by church and state between 1560 and 1696 is said to have produced in Scotland the most literate population in the early modern world. This book sets out to test this belief by comparing the ability to read and write in Scotland with northern England in particular and with Europe and North America in general.
