I'm excited to share that my new book, Jacobitism and Cultural Memory, 1688-1830, with @CambridgeUP's Elements series, is available for free download for the next 72 hours. Designed for non-specialists as well as Jacobite scholars. cambridge.org/core/elements/…

@F18CAL Congrats!

Pleased to say that I passed my PhD viva today! Thanks to my supervisors, Drs Alastair Mann and Emma Macleod, and my examiners, Professor Michael Brown and Dr Colin Nicolson, for their diligence, thoroughness and stimulating discussion. Also, thank you, Dr Phia Steyn. #PhDone 👨‍🎓

@WASPmexicano @GrantAHolcomb @IVMiles This is correct. The idea that Jacobites were primarily Roman Catholic is so wrong. Lots of good recent scholarship about jacobitism

@GrantAHolcomb @IVMiles Basically by the 1770s, most of the highland establishment had reconciled to the Hanoverian succession. Additionally most Jacobite Scots were more recent arrivals & American Whiggishness didn’t jibe with their old school Highland Toryism

Revolutionary allegiances in the American War for Independence have a lot more to do with local politics than religion. Southern Anglicans, especially in Virginia and South Carolina, were more devoted to the Patriot cause than largely Tory Scot (not Scot-Irish!!) Presbyterians.

@JamesPAmbuske @HearaichHerald And this collection has some good edinburghuniversitypress.com/book-scottish-…

@JamesPAmbuske @HearaichHerald Alasdair Raffe’s books are good for late 17th early 18th

@F18CAL @FunkyPlaid Well done!

Well, after four and a half years, I have finally submitted my PhD thesis! With immeasurable gratitude, I thank my family and wonderful supervisors, Dr Alastair Mann and Dr Emma Macleod. I must also give an additional nod of thanks to @FunkyPlaid. Onwards...

@amjones1989 I think it’s Topic, historiography, organization, method, argument, significance. I wish I could remember who came up with it!

@dparrish0 If you’ve got em! I’ll keep googling, too.

I’m wracking my brain to remember this rubric someone developed for teaching history grad students now to analyze and break down articles and monographs. Any ideas? Y’all know what I’m talking about? #twitterstorians

@amjones1989 Sorry, I don’t. Do you just need the main acrostic headers?

@dparrish0 That sounds right! Do you have a link?

@FunkyPlaid @cygnoir Hope you feel well soon.

Thankfully, @cygnoir made some COVID-killer for us. Might try it intravenous or, at the very least, subcutaneous in the days ahead. 🤒

@StedesRevenge @NushPowell I’ve got a lot in my book about that period but you might check out Mark Hanna’s book

@NushPowell Yes, especially leading up to the 15. Trying to understand impact from time period of Glorious Revolution through early 1700s, especially in New York and other colonies.

Can any #Twitterstorians recommend a book(s) about the Jacobite rebellion? Looking for more context about the era, impact on American colonies, and any other interesting components. Brief references to Pirates (always) a plus!

@MikkiBrock Have you read Parker Palmer’s book The Courage to Teach? It’s a bit older now but I’m currently reading it and finding some of it helpful. He does a good job of moving beyond technique or methods and celebrating the diversity of approaches.

@markfugitt Love Sabatini and Dumas.

Just a bit of light reading! Here’s the un-staged photo of my bedside table. Anyone else have the same disease?

@journeymanhisto Are you looking for a specific period?

Is there any scholarship on what colonists in North America thought of the Jacobite rebellions? There has to be, right?

@jmadelman I used it for a senior-level capstone class and it went well except one of the later chapters on cultural history didn’t land.

@markfugitt Yikes.

We've got to stop using “worldview” as a justification for doing bad history. I am teaching from a college level American history textbook published by a Christian publisher & these are just some of the provided test bank questions…(🧵1/8) #historymatters
