Description

“Michael J. Connolly takes the American Jacobites seriously in way that has not been done before. The Jacobites stretched the bounds of American political debate into areas few scholars have contemplated. This work adds a new dimension to our understanding of anti-modernism and opens a new chapter in scholarship on Jacobitism.” Geoffrey Plank, University of East Anglia and author of An Unsettled Conquest: The British Campaign against the Peoples of Acadia
In the late nineteenth century a resurgent Jacobite movement emerged in Britain, and later the United States, as resistance to the liberal democracies of Victorian Britain and Gilded Age America. Jacobitism in Britain and the United States, 1880–1910 explores the rise and fall of Anglo-American Jacobitism and the movement’s ideas and concerns.
