About This Book

A chronological study of London between the 1720s and 1745 examining political, social, and cultural life as Jacobite sentiment ebbed and surged. It profiles printers, pamphleteers, politicians, clergy, and exiles; recounts controversies such as Sacheverell’s fall, Atterbury’s exile, and Highland troop movements; surveys parliamentary debates, popular entertainments, and factional rituals; and traces public reactions to pretender plots, military preparations, and the 1745 rising. The narrative mixes anecdotes, contemporary press, and correspondence to show how loyalties, patronage, and urban society shaped responses to dynastic crisis.
