About This Book

The narrative surveys London society and politics during the Jacobite era, tracing public responses to a disputed succession, ceremonial proclamations, and partisan rivalry. It gathers contemporaneous anecdotes, sermons, pamphlets, stage incidents, and official proceedings to illustrate street demonstrations, political clubs, libel and satire, military and legal manoeuvres, arrests and trials, and prison life. Chapters move chronologically through outbreaks of rioting, plot investigations, and popular entertainments, showing how church, court, and newspapers shaped opinion. The result is a portrait of an urban capital simmering with factional tension, ritual spectacle, and everyday reactions to national crisis.
