Jacobitism, or support for the exiled Stuarts after the Revolution
of 1688, has become a topic of great interest in recent years.
Historians have debated its influence on Parliamentary politics,
but none has yet attempted to explore its broader implications in
English society. Paul Monod's study offers a wide-ranging analysis
of every aspect of Jacobite activity, from pamphlets and newspapers
to songs, cartoons, riots, seditious words, clubs and armed
insurrection. It argues that Jacobitism was not confined to a tiny
group of fanatical reactionaries, and that it had a profound impact
on various aspects of English life, including political thought,
literature, popular culture, religion and elite sociability. It
contributed a great deal both to the emergence of conservative
attitudes in eighteenth-century England and to the development of a
radical critique of Whig government. This paradoxical legacy makes
Jacobitism a subject of considerable and enduring significance in
English political, social and cultural history.
