Book excerpt: “An engaging look at the violent struggle of the surprisingly diverse Jacobites... Swift and cinematic with neatly sketched character portraits.” —Financial Times This is the first modern history for general readers of the entire Jacobite movement in Scotland, England and Ireland, from the ‘Glorious Revolution’ of 1688 that drove James II into exile to the death of his grandson, Cardinal Henry, Duke of York, in 1807. The Battle of Culloden and Bonnie Prince Charlie’s flight through the heather are well known, but not the other risings and plots that involved half of Europe and even revolutionary America. Based on the latest research, The King over the Water weaves together all the strands of this gripping saga into a vivid, sweeping narrative, full of insight, analysis and anecdote. “Few causes have aroused a more gallant response from the peoples of these islands than the Honest Cause,” writes Desmond Seward, “whether they were fighting for it at Killiecrankie, Prestonpans or Culloden, at the Boyne, Aughrim or Fontenoy, or dying for it on the scaffold.” “Highly readable, with brilliantly rendered characters, and thrilling tales of deceit and espionage.”—Military History Monthly “A bracingly revisionist history.” —Telegraph “Seward's detailed descriptions of the Princes, Princesses, Kings, and Queens create a sense of theatre and allow the reader to fully immerse themselves into the dramatic events of the period . . . an engaging and easy read.” —Scottish Field “A rollickingly, splendidly chronological history.” –Herald “Seward's clear-sighted examination of the Jacobite movement shows how close it came to succeeding.” —Scotsman “This lively book is a welcome addition.” —BBC History

Book excerpt: The authors of these articles, adept in combat and conflict, were introduced to the political turbulence of the seventeenth century under congenial auspices. They remember fondly the intellectual companionship and warm friendship of Wallace Notestein. There is much talk these days about the scholar-teacher which every school should produce and every student strive to become. Notestein is a scholar-teacher, precisely because he is nothing like the paragon described in pedagogical tracts. In shome respects he is typical of scholar-teachers in the generation whom we honour, but typical only to that degree. The attribute which primes a distinguished scholar-teacher is one that is clearly always left out of the fanciful descriptions -- his own character and individuality. Notestein is our remembrancer that a scholarly career is most happily lodged in gentle human qualities. His character, independence, intellectual vigour, scholarly method, routine of work and life cannot be trapped in a formula. Students pay him the tribute of knowing better than to suppose they can imitate him, but from his character and method they have learned, though he never bothered to preach it, that a good teacher must be genuinely himself. These days it is the fashion in certain quarters to be disdainful of the fact-grubbing of scholarship. Notestein always believed in the hard manual labour of scholarship and has been quite unashamed of the toil of research. Here he set his students the first example in scholarly integrity. Wherever they may be working, even those in non-academic pursuits, they are honest craftsmen. - Introductory.
