Book Overview
This collection comprises the letters of Francis Atterbury, Bishop of Rochester, to the Chevalier De St George (James Francis Edward Stuart, the 'Old Pretender') and other adherents of the House of Stuart. Drawn from original documents in Her Majesty's Collection, these letters offer a unique glimpse into the Jacobite movement and its efforts to restore the Stuart monarchy in Great Britain during the early 18th century.
Atterbury, a prominent figure in the Church of England and a staunch supporter of the Stuart cause, used his correspondence to navigate the treacherous political landscape and plot the return of the exiled royal family. The letters reveal Atterbury's involvement in clandestine activities, his assessment of political opportunities, and his relationships with key Jacobite figures. Students of British history and political intrigue will find valuable insights into a pivotal era. Readers interested in epistolary history will appreciate the carefully preserved historical voice of Bishop Atterbury.
