厄斯金家族的信件是一个非凡的档案宝库，在近代早期的记载中很大程度上被忽视了。这篇论文将解开le@ers这个杰出的缓存，从而涵盖新的，重要的，档案的基础。它的实质性发现将为苏格兰历史上一个关键时期（改革、契约、内战）的语言和社会提供新的见解，并突出了著名的马尔伯爵夫人的生活和不为人知的书信声音。它将强调编辑决策对今天语言身份形成的影响，因为我们展望未来，更多的苏格兰档案将被访问。

The Erskine family correspondence is an extraordinary archival treasure trove, largely overlooked in accounts of the Early Modern period. This thesis will unlock this outstanding cache of le@ers and thus cover new, important, archival ground. Its substanGve findings will provide fresh insight into language and society at a key period of Sco2sh history (the ReformaGon, Covenanters, Civil War) and highlight the life and disGncGve epistolary voice of the remarkable countess of Mar. It will emphasise the implicaGons of editorial decision-making for language-idenGty formaGon today, as we look towards a future where more Sco2sh archives are made accessible.
