Contents:

The British peace. Tyranny's kiss -- The march of empire -- Remembrance of kings past -- The passions of empire -- Three faces. The problem with patriarchy -- In the name of the father -- Neoabsolutism -- Dreams of a new empire -- A funeral fit for a king. History fulfilled, history betrayed -- A funeral fit for a king.

Subject: Reinterpreting the first century of American history, Brendan McConville argues that colonial society developed a political culture marked by strong attachment to Great Britain's monarchs. This intense allegiance continued almost until the moment of independence, an event defined by an emotional break with the king. The American Revolution, McConville contends, emerged out of the fissure caused by the unstable mix of affective attachments to the king and a weak imperial government.
