Imagined Architectures: Jacobite and Hanoverian

Imagined Architectures: Jacobite and Hanoverian

This is a past event

This public talk represents a special opportunity to examine an unusual aspect of Jacobite history in relation to architecture and aesthetics.

Professor Peter Davidson offers a contrasting study of the imaginary architectural projects which the Jacobite Earl of Mar drew in exile after 1715, and the imaginary architectures invented by the Chearnley Cirle at Birr Castle in Ireland during the anxious winter of 1745.

This event is part of a series of fascinating and engaging activities that accompanies the inaugural exhibition at the University’s impressive new Library, Rebels with a Cause: The Jacobites and the Global Imagination. Rebels with a Cause: The Jacobites & The Global Imagination is the title of the inaugural exhibition at the new Library at the University of Aberdeen. The exhibition displays treasures from the University’s rare book, archive and museum collections to explore and challenge traditional assumptions about the Jacobites.
