• W2077690487 abstract "The Drama of Charles Edward Stuart, Jacobite Propaganda, and French Political Protest, 1745–1750 Thomas E. Kaiser (bio) In the early evening of December 10, 1748, the carriage bearing Charles Edward Stuart, the celebrated Young Pretender to the British throne widely known as Bonnie Prince Charlie, entered the enclosure of the Palais Royal in Paris and approached the Opera. The Opera was a theater the Prince knew well from countless previous visits during which he had been hailed by admiring crowds, but on this particular occasion, events took an unprecedented, if not an entirely unexpected turn. Looking, according to one account, “like an angel seized by fiends,” 1 the Prince upon descending from his carriage was immediately assaulted by French troops, force-marched into a nearby building, bound, and taken away, while a large contingent of 1200 guards blocked access to the Palais Royal. After a brief imprisonment in the Château de Vincennes, the royal prisoner was exiled from France, leaving behind a nation whose attention he had managed to capture for four years and whose politics would never be exactly the same. Historians are hardly unfamiliar with the Charles Edward Stuart affair: they have recounted it in biographies of the Stuart prince; they have referred to it frequently in the histories of eighteenth-century Britain and France; and recently, two scholars have fleshed the story out with some important new details. 2 Yet scholars have not gone far to embed the affair within the political context of Louis XV’s monarchy, which, partly as a result of the affair, experienced an acute crisis of legitimation. [End Page 365] Indeed, some eighteenth-century observers, including Mouffle d’Angerville, identified the Charles Stuart affair as the moment when French public opinion turned decisively against the King and his mistress, Mme. de Pompadour. “It is at this shameful period that began to appear the general disdain for the Sovereign and his mistress which would only continue to grow. The former, in laying down his sword, seemed to renounce glory and even the love of his people, leaving the reins of his empire to the latter, whose odious reign would not end until her death.” 3 Although it would be easy today to dismiss Mouffle d’Angerville’s claim as nothing more than the smear of a mud-slinging libelliste, recent research on the problem of French monarchical authority in the eighteenth century suggests that his observations should be taken seriously. Despite occasional brief spikes in popularity, Louis XV was held in low esteem by the Parisian public for decades; however, at mid-century this contempt for the King boiled over in an unprecedented cascade of widely diffused mauvais discours and death threats directed against him and Pompadour. 4 Moreover, far from constituting inconsequential “static” around the monarchy, these attacks on the king’s person now appear integrally bound up with a larger “unraveling” of absolutist ideology. Seemingly corrupted as a result of female usurpation of the royal will—to which was attributed catastrophic diplomatic blunders, military humiliation, and fiscal oppression—the mortal body of the king became representationally separated from his immortal dignitas, leaving space for other institutions, most notably the parlements, to reassert their claims to represent the nation in ways that directly challenged the “constitutional” basis of absolutism. Although the assault on the king’s person and the reassertion of parlement prerogatives derived from radically different and opposing political sources, the parti dévot in the first case and the Jansenist-inspired “constitutionalists” in the second, it now seems that they unwittingly worked together to erode royal authority in a process culminating in the French Revolution. 5 The purpose of this article is to reconsider the role the Charles Edward Stuart affair played in this process, particularly with regard to the struggle to control French public perceptions and opinions of the French crown. The argument is not that Jacobitism provided a rich, previously overlooked ideological arsenal of opposition to the French monarchy, still less that public distress over Charles Edward’s fate was the only source of the crown’s difficulties in the later 1740s. On the contrary, it shall be argued that Jacobitism exerted a powerful, if quickly..." @default.
