THE LAST JACOBITES: Heroes, History and Culture after the Battle of Culloden

1-247180

Explores the enduring legacy of Jacobitism, its influence, and its romantic revival across Europe. Even many Jacobites perished after the Battle of Culloden, Jacobite networks flourished in France and Scandinavia. Exiles joined the military as far afield as Spain and even Russia, while others formerly loyal to the cause found themselves in the New World, either banished by the British state or willing emigrants hoping for a better life. Jacobitism arose again as a romantic ideal in the 19th century, surprisingly revived by the Hanoverian royal family, which had displaced the Stuarts. Contains 30 mono illustrations.
