- Summary:
- This work is a frontal attack on an entrenched orthodoxy. Our official, public vision of the early 18th century demonises Louis XIV and France and marginalises the Scots Jacobites. What if the Scots Jacobites turn out to be the most radical, revolutionary party in early 18th century British politics? Using newly discovered sources from the French and Scottish archives, this exciting new book challenges our fundamental assumptions regarding the emergence of the fully British state in the early 18th century.
