Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a unique exploration of the Jacobite rebellions in 18th-century Britain. It sets out to challenge previous misconceptions surrounding the motives and character of those who supported the Jacobite cause, namely to restore the Stuart dynasty to the British throne. The author argues that this support stemmed primarily from a genuine belief in the divine right of kings, and was not merely an expression of discontent. The book draws on a wealth of primary sources, including letters, speeches, and memoirs of Jacobite leaders, to provide a nuanced and insightful account of their motivations. It examines the role of religion, culture, and personal loyalty in shaping their actions, and highlights the often-overlooked contributions of Jacobite women and men of letters. Through its meticulous research and engaging narrative, this book sheds new light on a fascinating and complex chapter in British history. It demonstrates that the Jacobite risings were not simply acts of rebellion, but were driven by a deep-rooted belief in traditional values and a desire to preserve the nation's heritage. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
