Defining A British State: Treason and National Identity, 1608-1820 (Studies in Modern History) By Lisa Steffen
2001 | 257 Pages | ISBN: 0230513751 | PDF | 1 MB


This book explores the formation of the British state and national identity from 1603-1832 by examining the definitions of sovereignty and allegiance presented in treason trials. The king remained central to national identity and the state until Republican challenges forced prosecutors in treason trials to innovate and redefine sovereign authority. Although jurors resisted the change, by the 1790s parliament and prosecutors accepted that treason law protected all Britons and the general safety of the state.
