This book is a frontal attack on an entrenched orthodoxy. Our
official, public vision of the early eighteenth century demonises
Louis XIV and France and marginalises the Scots Jacobites. Louis is
seen as an incorrigibly imperialistic monster and the enemy of
liberty and all that is good and progressive. The Jacobite Scots
are presented as so foolishly reactionary and dumbly loyal that
they were (sadly) incapable of recognising their manifest destiny
as the cannon fodder of the first British empire. But what if Louis
acted in defence of a nation's liberties and (for whatever reason)
sought to right a historic injustice? What if the Scots Jacobites
turn out to be the most radical, revolutionary party in early
eighteenth-century British politics? Using newly discovered sources
from the French and Scottish archives this exciting new book
challenges our fundamental assumptions regarding the emergence of
the fully British state in the early eighteenth century. -- .
