Cosmopolitan Conservatisms
This volume presents a fresh picture of the historical development of “conservatism” from the late 17th to the early 20th century.

The contributions show how counterrevolutionary concepts did not emerge in isolation, but resulted from the interplay between ideas, media, networks, and institutions. Like 19th-century liberalism and socialism, conservatism was the product of traveling ideas and people.

The Jacobites
The product of forty years of research by one of the foremost historians of Jacobitism, this book is a comprehensive revision of Professor Szechi’s popular 1994 survey of the Jacobite movement in the British Isles and Europe. Like the first edition, it is undergraduate-friendly, providing an enhanced chronology, a convenient introduction to the historiography and a narrative of the history of Jacobitism, alongside topics specifically designed to engage student interest. This includes Jacobitism as a uniting force among the pirates of the Caribbean and as a key element in sustaining Irish peasant resistance to English colonial rule. As the only comprehensive introduction to the field, the book will be essential reading for all those interested in early modern British and European politics.

Rob Roy, el baronet y los 300 de Escocia
El 10 de mayo de 1719, el castillo Eilean Donan saltó por los aires bajo los cañones de una fragata inglesa. Ese día, 41 soldados españoles del Regimiento Galicia, una partida de 318 infantes enviados por Felipe V al corazón de las Highlands, defendieron el que hoy es uno de los iconos de Escocia. Su objetivo, apoyar la causa de los jacobitas, fieles a la dinastía católica de los Estuardo. Llegaba a su clímax una historia digna de una novela del escritor Sir Walter Scott, primer baronet de Abbotsford. Pero aún faltaba un episodio determinante: la batalla de Glenshiel, las Termópilas de Escocia. El 10 de junio, 274 soldados españoles se enfrentaron, con las montañas de Kintail como telón de fondo, a un ejército inglés. No estuvieron solos. Rob Roy, uno de los héroes más célebres del país, y sus macgrioghairs lucharon a su lado. Esta es su historia, esta fue su aventura.
