'An important study in the cultural politics and political culture of the Eighteenth Century.'
Jeremy Black, MBE, Emeritus Professor of History, University of Exeter
'A ground-breaking study of the pan-European connections created by the Jacobite diaspora and the Jacobite Grand Tourists and, just as importantly, the symbiotic relationship between the Jacobite movement and some of the small states of Europe. In one fell swoop Filet has dramatically deepened our understanding of eighteenth-century European geopolitics.'
Daniel Szechi, Emeritus Professor of History, University of Manchester and Honorary Professor in Irish and Scottish Studies, University of Aberdeen
'This book’s innovative approach to the Grand Tour situates Lorraine and its ducal court at the centre of European intellectual and political exchange, effectively stressing the importance of smaller states in early modern Europe and in particular, their connection to Jacobitism and the education of British elites abroad.'
Jonathan Spangler, Senior Lecturer in Early Modern History, Manchester Metropolitan University.
