 is the first book to analyze the relationship between cultural memory, national identity and the changing media ecology in early eighteenth-century Britain. It focuses on five pivotal episodes in the histories of England, Scotland and Ireland: the 1688 鈥淕lorious鈥� Revolution; the War of the Two Kings in Ireland (1688-91); the Scottish colonial enterprise in Darien (1695-1700); the 1715 Jacobite Rising; and the 1745 Jacobite Rising. The book explores the initial inscription of these episodes in forms such as official documents, manuscript newsletters, letters, newspapers and popular histories and examines how counter-memories of these events continued to circulate in later mediations. Bringing together Memory Studies, Book History and British Studies, Mediating Cultural Memory shines new light on the early eighteenth century as a crucial stage in the development of a modern understanding of cultural memory. It also illuminates the processes of remembrance and forgetting that have played such a central role in creating Great Britain and contributes a historical perspective to current discussions on the nature of national memories.
