Craftworkers in Nineteenth Century Scotland

Reviews / Votes

I have learned more from this fine study than any number of other recent books on modern ?Scottish history. It is undeniably pioneering, skillfully undermining a number of old orthodoxies about Scotland's craftworkers, and will stand as the standard work on the subject for many years to come. * Professor Emeritus Sir Tom Devine, University of Edinburgh * This book is a celebration of consolidated scholarly knowledge and passion for a subject which is too often overlooked, though not by this author. [...] The impacts of this book on future scholarship and public celebrations of Scottish cultural and economic history will be anticipated. -- Anthony Lewis, Glasgow Life Museums * The Economic History Review * Stana Nenadic brings to this publication her hugely significant understanding of social history in Scotland and beyond. One can see from the outset the immense amount of research that has gone into this book, and it is thus a work that will contribute enormously to the understanding of the craft economy of Scotland in the nineteenth century. -- Elaine Edwards * Folk Life: Journal of Ethnological Studies * Nenadic, with meticulous research of archival materials, newspaper articles, nineteenth century
literature, and pamphlets among a rich variety of other sources, enables the reader to enter the
life and work of a variety of crafters. -- Janice Helland, Queen's University * Cultural and Social History *
