Macinnes, Allan I.2025
Books, Manuscripts
Jacobitism, the cause championed by the exiled Stuart royal house, endured from the Revolution of 1688-91 until 1807, fuelled 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 Black 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.
