Description

The Jacobites: Britain and Europe, 1688-1788 This comprehensive survey of the Jacobite phenomenon offers a fresh interpretation of the movement's impact on the development of modern Britain and Europe. Exploring Jacobitism in England, Ireland, Scotland, Europe, and beyond, the book provides a detailed analysis of the ideology, social networks, and religious affiliations of the Jacobites. From its populist counter-revolutionary origins in 1688 to its final, obscure demise in Rome in 1788, the Jacobite movement is one of the most hotly debated subjects in eighteenth-century British history. This book brings together the latest research to provide a nuanced understanding of the Jacobite cause and its impact on the politics, society, and peoples of the British Isles. Suitable for A-level and undergraduate students of eighteenth-century history, as well as general readers looking for an explanation of a much-misunderstood phenomenon, this book provides a clear and comprehensive account of the Jacobite movement.
