Seeing the Whole Picture, But ...
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Jeremy Black has presented us with the entire mosaic of the Jacobite uprising in the mid-18th century. It is fascinating to see how he weaves the political and religious movements going on in George II's London, with Spain, Paris and the Low Countries into one larger picture. At times authors tend to be so myopic about their subject, but this gives us a broader field of vision. What this text does not do, however, is spend very much time, at all, on the Battle at Culloden Moor, which is what I was looking for. I found it tremendously profitable, if at times laborous, reading but distant from my hoped for goal. Perhaps the title should not have an emphasis on Culloden but rather on the entire Jacobite movement that surrounded the young Pretender.
