Defining a British State: Treason and National Identity, 1608-1820 (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780333920343)

Explores the formation of the British state and national identity from 1603-1820 by examining the definitions of sovereignty and allegiance presented in treason trials. The king's person remained central to national identity and the state until republican challenges forced prosecutors in treason trials to innovate and redefine sovereign authority.
