Scotland bibliography

Thanks for the kind words.

I'm trying to figure out what to do with the works of Walter Scott and especially John Prebble. I think a selection of their works belongs in the bibliography, but where to put them? A new section or two, probably, but what to call it? Scott wrote historical fiction. Prebble? Not quite in the same category as Tom Devine, but still more serious as history than Walter Scott.

Scott belongs in a separate article on Scottish literature, as does Prebble. My wife is a Campbell and I hear about Culloden and Glencoe etc all the time but I don't think Prebble "makes the cut" as a scholar in the company of the authors who are now recommended. I think we'll want to spinoff the history sections into a separate and longer Scotland, history, leaving only a brief history as part of the Scotland article. Then in the main text of the Scotland, history article Prebble's books can be mentioned in a footnote to Culloden & Glencoe. Richard Jensen 11:44, 5 February 2008 (CST)
