The first modern biography of William Robertson, a key figure of the Scottish Enlightenment.
A prominent figure in the Scottish Enlightenment, William Robertson differed from his contemporaries, such as Voltaire, Hume and Gibbon, because he used the critical tools of the Enlightenment to strengthen religion, not to attack it. As an historian, he helped shape 18th-century historiography. As a minister of the Church of Scotland, he sought to make the church fit for a polite age. And, as principal of the University of Edinburgh, he presided over a flourishing of intellectual inquiry in the midst of the Enlightenment. But despite his European fame, he was a controversial figure.
Drawing extensively on his unpublished correspondence, Jeffrey Smitten captures both the man and his work in his own words. By foregrounding Robertson's religious outlook, Smitten gives us a more contextualised and nuanced interpretation of Robertson's motives, intentions and beliefs than we have had before.

En ce temps-là, les évêques, couverts de leur cotte de mailles et armés d'une massue, n’hésitaient pas à participer aux batailles que se livraient les princes. Odon, évêque de Bayeux, et Geoffroi de Montbray évêque de Coutances, furent présents à Hastings et ne se contentèrent pas de combattre l'adversaire avec les seules armes de la prière. Souvent issus d’illustres familles aristocratiques, ils jouèrent un rôle capital dans la vie du duché de Normandie et dans le royaume anglo-normand. Mais ces évêques, bien installés dans la vie du siècle, ne délaissèrent nullement leurs responsabilités d’hommes d’Église : ils entreprirent de restaurer la vie religieuse, favorisèrent les fondations monastiques, se firent bâtisseurs de cathédrales et créèrent des centres de vie intellectuelle : certains furent même de remarquables savants, à l’exemple de Gilbert Maminot, évêque de Lisieux. De toutes ces personnalités étonnantes du xie siècle une s’impose avec plus de relief encore : Geoffroi de Montbray, évêque de Coutances pendant près de cinquante ans, de 1048 à 1093, qui fut un collaborateur efficace de Guillaume le Conquérant et qui édifia une magnifique cathédrale grâce notamment à l’argent offert par les aventuriers normands établis en Italie du Sud.

Denmark of the twelfth to thirteenth centuries was a place of transitions, and this volume analyzes that period through the lens of the 'Gesta Danorum' of Saxo Grammaticus and other sources. The 'Gesta' defends not only hierocratic conceptions but the Danish hegemonic project in the Baltic - which was grounded in the crusade movements. Such movements are presented through complex language and imagery about a glorious past brought to bear on the projects in the thirteenth century while internal tensions strengthen the monarchic and ecclesiastical institutions.
