Kingdoms, empire and legacies: assessing the Stuart dynasty and its histories, 1603-2014
Fri 29 August 2014
McCrum Lecture Theatre
This one-day symposium explores the histories and legacies of the Stuart dynasty from the union of the crowns in 1603 until the present day. The focus will be on the Stuart dynasty, rather than seventeenth-century Britain more generally, and particular attention will be paid to the dynastic impetus behind domestic and foreign policy, cultural patronage, and contemporary responses to the dynastic framework of three kingdoms’ politics. The symposium will consider the legacies of the Stuarts in later centuries, in academic writing, popular, elite and political culture. It is intended to offer an inter-disciplinary perspective on the Stuart dynasty, and to consider the histories of the dynasty in its own time, and beyond.
