From conception onwards, Stuart offspring were presented to their
subjects through texts, images and public celebrations. Audiences
were exhorted to share in their development, establishing affective
bonds with the royal family and its latest additions. Yet inviting
the public into Stuart domestic affairs exposed them to intense
scrutiny and private interactions were endowed with public
dimensions. Images of royal children had the potential both to
support and to undermine dynastic messages. In Imaging Stuart
Family Politics, Catriona Murray explores the promotion of Stuart
familial propaganda through the figure of the royal child. Bringing
together royal ritual, court portraiture and popular prints, she
offers a distinctive perspective on this crucial dimension of
seventeenth-century political culture, exploring the fashioning and
dismantling of reproductive imagery, as well as the vital role of
visual display within these dialogues. This wide-ranging study will
appeal to scholars of Stuart cultural, political and social
history.
