Produktbeschreibung
The year 1708 was a fateful one for Great Britain and the Jacobites. An invasion of the eastern Scottish coast was to bring the line of the Stuarts back to the throne – and, at the same time, provide France with an ally. Despite the “expedition’s” high chances of success, it failed. Through the contextualisation of this event within the England-Scotland-France tripartite relationship and the complex European power constellation around 1700, the author succeeds in reconstructing this in its significance for European history. She sheds light onto the meaning of Jacobitism, all the while examining the event from a cultural-historical perspective within the interwoven fabric of mutual perceptions, stereotypes and national identity constructions in a newly emerged public space.
