Georgian Monarchy is a revisionist account of the monarchy during the reigns of the first two Hanoverian kings of Britain, George and George II. Wide-ranging in the scope of its enquiry and interdiscipinary source material, it rejects the contention that the Georgian kings were tolerated solely on the grounds of political expediency, instead, Hannah Smith argues that they enjoyed a rich popularity which grew out of a flourishing culture of loyalism.

SynopsisThis book, first published in 2006, is a revisionist account of the monarchy during the reigns of the first two Hanoverian kings of Britain, George I and George II. Hannah Smith engages with key debates over the nature of early eighteenth-century British society by evaluating the political and social function of the early Georgian court., This book, first published in 2006, is a revisionist account of the monarchy during the reigns of the first two Hanoverian kings of Britain, George I and George II. This detailed study of early Georgian kingship and queenship examines the rhetorical and iconographical fashioning of the dynasty, evaluates the political and social function of the early Georgian court, and provides an extensive analysis of provincial cultures of monarchism. Wide-ranging in the scope of its enquiry and interdisciplinary source material, it rejects the contention that the Georgian kings were tolerated solely on the grounds of political expediency. Instead, Hannah Smith argues that they enjoyed a rich popularity that grew out of a flourishing culture of loyalism. In doing so, she engages with key debates over the nature of early eighteenth-century British society, highlights the European context to British political thinking, and, more broadly, illuminates the functioning of cultures of power in this period.
