Edited by Eilish Gregory, Michael C. Questier
Part of the Queenship and Power series
Hardback
Description
This book gathers contributions on the later Stuart queens and queen consorts.
It seeks to re-insert Henrietta Maria, Catherine of Braganza, Mary of Modena, Mary II, Anne, and Maria Clementina Sobieska into the mainstream of Stuart and early Georgian studies, concentrating on the later Stuart queens from the restoration of King Charles II (who married Catherine of Braganza in 1662) until the death of Maria Clementina Sobieska in 1735, who was married to James Francis Edward Stuart, the titular King James III, otherwise known as the Old Pretender.
It showcases these women’s roles as queen consorts and as ruling queens in Britain and Europe, and reveals how their positions allowed them to act as power-brokers, diplomats, patrons, and religious trendsetters during their lifetimes.
It also explores their impact in early modern Britain and Europe by assessing their influence in religion, political culture, and the promotion of patronage.
