A dynasty of high ability and great charm, the Stuarts exerted a
compelling fascination over their supporters and enemies alike.
First published in 1991, this title assesses the influence of the
Stuart mystique on the modern political and cultural identity of
Scotland. Murray Pittock traces the Stuart myth from the days of
Charles I to the modern Scottish National Party, and discusses both
pro- and anti-Union propaganda. He provides a unique insight into
the radicalism of Scottish Jacobitism, contrasting this Jacobitisim
of the Left with the sentimental image constructed by the
Victorians. Dealing with a subject of great relevance to modern
British society, this reissue provides an extensive analysis of
Scottish nationhood, the Stuart cult and Jacobite ideology. It will
be of great interest to students of literature, history, and
Scottish culture and politics. "
