The Stuarts in Italy, 1719-1766 A Royal Court in Permanent Exile

Review of the hardback: 'Corp's books on the topic of the Stuart Courts have always been excellent, and they have been getting better. The Stuarts in Italy is absolutely outstanding in its detail, its findings, its implications, and its evidence base. If it is not to be the last word, someone is going to have to work very hard to say much else.' Murray Pittock, Journal of British Studies Review of the hardback: '... this book will become the standard reference for any scholar who is interested in the operations of the Stuart court in Italy after 1719 ... well-written and cogently organized ... For almost fifty years, in spite of the failure of Jacobite conspiracies and rebellions in the British Isles, James III's court maintained a regal presence in the papal city, which did not fade until the dawning of the age of revolutions. This alone makes it worthy of Corp's finely detailed study.' Paul Monod, H-Albion (h-net.org/~albion) Review of the hardback: 'A superbly researched and wonderfully detailed account.' undiscoveredscotland.co.uk Review of the hardback: 'This is an excellent piece of historical scholarship, based on impressive work and a mastery of the subject. It shows to those who still think that inevitably is part of history that this is not the case and that history remains more fascinating if less schematic than one might think.' Contemporary Review
