Description: The European age of empires began the process of globalisation. It is also inextricably linked with revolutionary discourses: emancipation, political independence, and economic equality. These essays explore the expression of these ideas in the works of R. B. Cunninghame Graham (1852-1936) and of other Scottish writers of the period.
