Mediating Cultural Memory in Britain and Ireland: From the 1688 Revolution to the 1745 Jacobite Rising

This is the first book to analyze the interplay of cultural memory, national identity and the changing media ecology of early eighteenth-century Britain. It examines the initial inscription of five pivotal episodes of English, Scottish and Irish history, revealing the mixture of memories and counter-memories in their subsequent mediations.
