Abstract:

This article examines the development of political opposition in Scotland from 1695 to 1701 in the context of the Company of Scotland Trading to Africa and the Indies. It is argued that the potency of the political movement inspired by Darien derived from the view that King William was directly implicated in the failure of the colony. Three episodes in the Company's history—the loss of subscriptions in Hamburg, the appearance of memorials in the new world prohibiting English aid to the colony and the imprisonment of Darien sailors by the Spanish authorities—are examined in detail.

Abstract:

This essay contrasts scholarship on printed authority within buccaneer ethnographies, contemporary apologetics for colonial enterprise, and the role of publicity in the delineation of piracy within print to ask: ‘when is a pirate not a pirate?’. Beginning with the ethnographies relating to the buccaneers’ crossing of the Isthmus of Darien during the ‘Pacific Adventure’ (1679–1682), this paper describes how the buccaneers escaped prosecution through their literary materials and became socially rehabilitated as credible explorers. Drawing on materials which highlight the diverse readings of pira

Abstract:

The South Sea bubble of 1720 has traditionally been seen as a London-centric event, with its impact on the British peripheries of Ireland and Scotland being largely ignored. This article examines the Scottish context of the bubble, looking at Scottish investment in London, the reactions of Scots to the rise and fall of the Company, and its impact on Scottish projects and schemes. Drawing on a range of manuscript and printed sources, and through the exploration of individual case studies, this article demonstrates that the Scottish experience of the financial revolution extended beyond the coll
