This book, first published in 2006, is a revisionist account of the
monarchy during the reigns of the first two Hanoverian kings of
Britain, George I and George II. This detailed study of early
Georgian kingship and queenship examines the rhetorical and
iconographical fashioning of the dynasty, evaluates the political
and social function of the early Georgian court, and provides an
extensive analysis of provincial cultures of monarchism.
Wide-ranging in the scope of its enquiry and interdisciplinary
source material, it rejects the contention that the Georgian kings
were tolerated solely on the grounds of political expediency.
Instead, Hannah Smith argues that they enjoyed a rich popularity
that grew out of a flourishing culture of loyalism. In doing so,
she engages with key debates over the nature of early
eighteenth-century British society, highlights the European context
to British political thinking, and, more broadly, illuminates the
functioning of cultures of power in this period.
