This is the first extensive account of royal propaganda in England
between 1689 and 1702. It demonstrates that the regime of William
III did not rely upon legal or constitutional rhetoric as it
attempted to legitimate itself after the Glorious Revolution, but
rather used a protestant, providential and biblically-based
language of 'courtly reformation'. This language presented the king
as a divinely-protected godly magistrate who could both defend the
true church against its popish enemies, and restore the original
piety and virtue of the elect English nation. Concentrating upon a
range of hitherto understudied sources - especially sermons and
public prayers - the book demonstrates the vigour with which these
ideas were broadcast by an imaginative group of propagandists
enabling the king to cope with central political difficulties - the
need to attract support for wars with France and the need to work
with Parliament.
