  • Religion, Loyalty and Sedition

    The Hanoverian Succession of 1714

    Edited by William Gibson, Elaine Chalus, Roberta Anderson ...
    The Hanoverian Succession of 1714 has not attracted the scholarly attention that it deserves. This is partly because the idea of the ‘long eighteenth century’, stretching from 1688 to 1832, has tended to treat the period as one without breaks. However, 1714 was in some respects as significant a date as 1688. It was the last time in British history that there was a dynastic change and one in which ... Read more

A more complex story emerges, of ... Read more
