Review Quotes: A gloriously diverse compendium of new insights into and findings about the Jacobite movement as it was promoted, remembered and memorialised from the early eighteenth century to the present. Although grounded in academic theories of networks and cultural memory, the fresh historical content will delight the general reader.--Christopher A. Whatley OBE, FRSE, University of Dundee
