Andrew Fletcher Bücher
Andrew Fletcher war ein schottischer Schriftsteller, Politiker und Patriot, der sich gegen den Unionsakt von 1707 zwischen Schottland und England stellte. Seine Schriften spiegeln ein tiefes Misstrauen gegenüber der königlichen Regierung und der erblichen Macht wider, das aus seinem Widerstand gegen repressive Regime in Schottland resultierte. Fletcher setzte sich für die schottische Unabhängigkeit und Freiheit ein, eine Haltung, die sowohl seine politischen Handlungen als auch seine literarischen Beiträge prägte.
