CONFLICT AND LOYALTY: JACOBITISM IN EUROPE AND BEYOND (HB)

Jacobitism, the cause championed by the exiled Stuart royal house, endured from the Revolution of 1688-91 until 1807, fuelled by plots, propaganda and uprisings - especially in Scotland. Over time, the movement shifted from exiled courts in France and Italy to a wider diaspora. From soldiers in European armies to settlers in British American colonies, Jacobites’ experiences played a role in Enlightenment, Revolution and Romanticism. This book offers a critical yet sympathetic view of Jacobitism and explores its complex legacy across the world.
