Kritik
"This book presents an interesting and wide-ranging discussion of the performance of Scottish identity at different points of history, informed largely by the author's long and distinguished career in theatre, critical and literary studies. ... I am confident that this wide-ranging account of performance in Scottish identity will be of great use to undergraduate and postgraduate students of Scottish culture, as well as to wider interested audiences." (Stuart S. Dunmore, Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, June 11, 2023)

"This book covers a lot of ground historically and generically and it is a tribute to Brown's scholarship and synoptic talent that he makes a good fist of holding all this material together in a coherent argument." (Media Education Journal, Issue 67, 2020)mehr
