The papers of Robert Forbes give us a tantalising glimpse of obscure aspects of the ‘45, including the food eaten by Prince Charles Edward Stuart. Painting: Still life with cheese (Floris Claesz van Dijck, c.1615)
Elsewhere in this issue we have seen how classical allusions and classical mythology could be enlisted in support of the exiled Stuart monarchs. ‘Cultural Jacobitism’, as it is now called, is increasingly being studied by contemporary historians, but as a discipline it has a long history reaching back into the years immediately after the 1745 rebellion itself. One of its first, and certainly one of its most comprehensive, scholars was the Jacobite and Episcopal bishop Robert Forbes (1708-75).
