The Hanoverian Succession: Dynastic Politics and Monarchical Culture

This book, edited by Andreas Gestrich and Michael Schaich, is a comprehensive collection of essays that delve into the Hanoverian monarchy, particularly during the reigns of George I and George II. The volume is organized into four sections: Dynastic Legacies, Representing Protestantism, Image Policies, and Contested Loyalties.

It examines the themes of Protestantism, national culture, and the monarch's role in embodying these ideals.

The essays also touch on the Jacobite threat, the politicization of the army, and the monarch's relationship with other kingdoms.

The book makes a significant contribution to the understanding of eighteenth-century political history and the cultural and ideological manifestations of the Hanoverian monarchy.
