Omschrijving

A new, global history of the Jacobite movement spanning more than a century.

A seventeenth-century British political cause, Jacobitism endured for more than a hundred years, fueled by plots, propaganda, and uprisings, especially in Scotland. As the movement shifted from exiled courts in France and Italy to a wider diaspora, Jacobites spread across Europe, the Americas, Africa, and Asia. From soldiers in European armies to settlers in British American colonies, Jacobites left a global impact: aiding Native American resistance yet also engaging in the enslavement of Africans. Their experiences abroad influenced European Enlightenment and Romanticism. This book offers a critical yet sympathetic view of Jacobitism, revealing its complex legacy across the world.
