Jacobitism and Anti-Jacobitism in the British Atlantic World, 1688-1727
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 93.16 $The first half of the Britain's long eighteenth century was a period fraught with conflicts ranging from civil wars (1688-1691) to a series of Jacobite plots, intrigues, and rebellions.

Covering almost forty years of this colourful history over an expansive geographical range, this book examines both the existence and meaning of Jacobitism and anti-Jacobitism throughout Britain's Atlantic empire. Drawing on a diverse source base, the author captures the essence of the transatlantic, tripartite relationship between politics, religion, and the public sphere, thus contributing to our understandings of the Anglicization of the British Atlantic world.

Jacobitism and the English People, 1688?1788
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 5.96 $Jacobitism, or support for the exiled Stuarts after the revolution of 1688, has become a topic of great interest in recent years. Historians have debated its influence on Parliamentary politics, but none has yet attempted to explore its broader implications in English society. This study offers a wide-ranging analysis of every aspect of Jacobite activity, from pamphlets and newspapers to songs, cartoons, riots, seditious words, clubs, and armed insurrection. It argues that Jacobitism was not confined to a tiny group of fanatical reactionaries, and that it had a profound impact on various aspects of English life including political thought, literature, popular culture, religion, and elite sociability. It contributed a great deal both to the emergence of conservative attitudes in eighteenth-century England and to the development of a radical critique of Whig government. This paradoxical legacy makes Jacobitism a subject of considerable significance in English political, social, and cultural history.

Ireland and the Jacobite Cause, 1685-1766: A Fatal Attachment
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 70.62 $This book offers the first analytic study of Irish Jacobitism in English, spanning the period between the succession of James II (1685) and the death of his son 'James III', 'the Old Pretender', in 1766. Two crucial features are the analysis of Irish Jacobite poetry in its wider 'British' and European contexts and the inclusion of the Irish diaspora as a pivotal part of the Irish political 'nation'. Both Jacobites and anti-Jacobites were obsessed with the vicissitudes of eighteenth-century European politics, and the fluctuating fortunes of the Stuarts in international diplomacy. European high politics and recruitment for the Irish Brigades in France and Spain provide the dominant themes in the poems, letters, pamphlets and memoirs of Irish writers, at home and abroad. The period between the outbreak of the War of the Austrian Succession (1739-49) and the end of the Seven Years' War (1763) witnessed a reinvigoration of Irish Jacobitism which permeated all levels of Irish society, at home and abroad. However, Britain's triumph in 1763 laid the basis for a new geopolitics, which hastened the demise of Jacobitism as a potent force in European high politics. It also permitted the emergence of a segment of Irish Catholic opinion willing to make a strategic accommodation with the House of Hanover.

Myth of the Jacobite Clans : The Jacobite Army in 1745
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 52.33 $The first edition of The Myth of the Jacobite Clans was a revolutionary book. It argued that British history had long sought to caricature Jacobitism rather than to understand it, and that the Jacobite Risings drew on extensive Lowland support and had a national quality within Scotland. The Times Higher Education Supplement hailed its author's 'formidable talents' and the book and its ideas fuelled discussions in the national press.Now entirely rewritten with extensive new primary research, this second edition addresses the questions of the first in more detail, examining the systematic misrepresentation of Jacobitism, the impressive size of the Jacobite armies, their training and organization and the Jacobite goal of dissolving the Union, and bringing to life the ordinary Scots who formed the core of Jacobite support in the ill-fated Rising of 1745. Now, more than ever, The Myth of the Jacobite Clans sounds the call for an end to the dismissive sneers and pointless romanticisation which have dogged

Culloden Moor 1746: The Death of the Jacobite Cause
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 48.59 $Osprey's study of the most important battle of the Jacobite Risings (1688-1746). The final demise of Jacobitism amid the slaughter of the Highland clans on a cold and damp Culloden Moor in April 1746 is undoubtedly one of the most famous battles in British military history. It has also been, until recently, one of the least understood from both a military and political perspective. In this modern and highly detailed account, this book combines a thorough understanding of 18th century tactics, an intimate knowledge of the battlefield itself and a scandalously underused archive of contemporary material from both sides to provide a detailed, accurate and dramatic account of this controversial battle.

The Myth of the Jacobite Clans
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 26.54 $First published in 1995, The Myth of the Jacobite Clans was a revolutionary book, arguing that British history had long caricatured Jacobitism rather than understand it and that the Jacobite Risings in fact enjoyed extensive Lowland support and had a national quality within Scotland. The Times Higher Education Supplement hailed the author's "formidable talents" and the book fuelled discussions in The Economist and Scotland on Sunday. Though Murray Pittock's argument has been widely accepted, it is still ignored in the media and in heritage representations which hope to depoliticize the Rising of 1745.Now rewritten with extensive new primary research, this expanded second edition addresses the questions of the first in more detail, examining the systematic misrepresentation of Jacobitism, the impressive size of the Jacobite armies, their training and organization, and the Jacobite goal of dissolving the Union. It fleshes out the lives of the ordinary Scots who formed the core of Jacobite support in the ill-fated Rising of 1745. Now, more than ever, The Myth of the Jacobite Clans is essential to putting an end to two hundred years of misinformation and pointless romanticization.
