Britain's Lost Revolution?: Jacobite Scotland and French Grand Strategy, 1701-8
ISBN: 9780719089176 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book is a frontal attack on an entrenched orthodoxy. Our official, public vision of the early eighteenth century demonises Louis XIV and France and marginalises the Scots Jacobites. Louis is seen as an incorrigibly imperialistic monster and the enemy of liberty and all that is good and progressive. The Jacobite Scots are presented as so foolishly reactionary and dumbly loyal that they were (sadly) incapable of recognising their manifest destiny as the cannon fodder of the first British empire. But what if Louis acted in defence of a nation's liberties and (for whatever reason) sought to...

1715: The Great Jacobite Rebellion
ISBN: 9780300111002 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 351 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Lacking the romantic imagery of the 1745 uprising of supporters of Bonnie Prince Charlie, the Jacobite rebellion of 1715 has received far less attention from scholars. Yet the '15, just eight years after the union of England and Scotland, was in fact a more significant threat to the British state. This book is the first thorough account of the Jacobite rebellion that might have killed the Act of Union in its infancy. Drawing on a substantial range of fresh primary resources in England, Scotland and France, Daniel Szechi analyses not only large and dramatic moments of the rebellion but also...
