Whig Ballads and the Past Passive Jacobite
View through CrossRef
AbstractThis essay analyses the representation of Jacobitism in ballads about the Hanoverian succession crisis. Focusing on three aspects of Jacobite culture – passive obedience, typological history and the representation of the Stuart heir – it argues that Jacobites and ballads were mutually constructed as nostalgic. The essay thus explores the production of Jacobitism as nostalgic, and the implications of that production, arguing that this formulation was contemporaneous with Jacobitism, that it served both sides and that it contributed to Jacobitism as a modern, rather than an archaic, political identity.
