This book is a multi-disciplinary exploration of Jacobitism and its cultural legacy. Chapters in the book examine the early history of the Jacobite movement, analysing how adherents of the Stuart cause used new and existing networks of ideas, people, goods and activities to promote and circulate their ideas. Engaging with media and nineteenth-century literary networks, the book considers the ways Jacobitism itself became an object of interest within a range of disciplines, including antiquarianism, song collection and literature. Chapters on Jacobitism and networks of modern cultural memory reflect on twentieth-century popular cultural representations of Jacobites. They demonstrate innovative opportunities to engage with the subject matter of Jacobitism in the present day through transnational collaboration and digital humanities. The book presents important new multi-national and multi-lingual perspectives on Jacobite Studies and the persistence of cultural engagement with the Jacobites.
