Description
Jacobitism and the English People, 1688-1788 by Paul Kleber Monod This study offers a comprehensive analysis of Jacobite activity in 17th and 18th-century England, exploring its impact on various aspects of society, including politics, literature, culture, and social life. Monod examines the ways in which Jacobitism influenced the emergence of conservative attitudes and the development of radical critiques of government. By examining a wide range of sources, including pamphlets, newspapers, songs, and cartoons, Monod reveals the complexity and nuance of Jacobite thought and practice. He argues that Jacobitism was not confined to a small group of reactionaries, but rather had a profound impact on English life, contributing to the development of conservative and radical ideologies. This book provides a significant contribution to our understanding of English political, social, and cultural history, and is essential reading for anyone interested in the subject.
