Material Culture and Sedition, 1688-1760 is a groundbreaking study of the ways in which material culture (and its associated designs, rituals and symbols) was used to avoid prosecution for treason and sedition in the British Isles. The fresh theoretical model it presents challenges existing accounts of the public sphere and consumer culture. "This is a rich and exciting book from one of the foremost historians of Jacobitism. With verve and unique insight Pittock transports us into a secret Jacobite world of gestures, tokens and hidden symbolism. Jacobitism was the creed that did not dare speak its name; Pittock rediscovers its voice in a way that will transform our entire understanding of the subject." - Daniel Szechi, University of Manchester, UK.
