Congratulations to Professor Lorna Hutson whose book England’s Insular Imagining has won the Research Book of the Year at the Saltire Society National Book Awards 2024. England’s Insular Imagining explores Tudor efforts first to justify an attempted Scottish conquest, then to remake Scotland's nationhood in service of an Anglo-imperial view of history. The judges pronounced it, “a landmark text across multiple disciplines.”
Professor Lorna Hutson said: “I am deeply honoured to have been awarded the Research Book of the Year Prize from the Saltire Society, which does such important work in supporting Scottish literary culture. My book asks us to look again at what we thought we knew about Anglo-Scots relations in the sixteenth century, but it has benefitted hugely from innovative work on Scottish materials by many others. This is a time of transformative research in Anglo-Scots history, of which I’m glad to be a part, and it means a great deal to me personally to have my work prized in Scotland.”
