| Summary: | In the first monograph to fully examine the intersecting networks of Jacobites and travelers to the continent, Filet considers how small states used official diplomacy and deployed soft power, embodied by educational academies, to achieve foreign policy goals. This work uses little-known archival materials to explain how and why certain small states secretly supported the Jacobite cause during the crucial years surrounding the 1715 rising, while others stayed out of Jacobite affairs. At the same time, the book demonstrates how early modern small states sought to cultivate good relations with Britain by attracting travelers as part of a wider trend of ensuring connections with future diplomats or politicians in case a Stuart restoration never came. This publication therefore brings together a study of Britain, small states, Jacobitism and educational travel, in its nexus at continental academies. |
