In this timely contribution to debates over the relationship of politics to storytelling, Lee Manion uncovers the centrality of narrative to European concepts of sovereignty. Situating medieval and early modern Scotland and England in a broader inter-imperial milieu, Manion shows how established discourse prevented more equitable political unions.
