Abstract

As we saw in Chapter 1, the laws on treason and sedition ensured that the objects of Jacobitism and their constituent codes could not be a transparent materialization of underlying politics. The accumulated fund of significant symbols through which Jacobite material culture expressed, even when furnished with canting or allusive language, its necessary commitment to speechlessness, obliquity and silence had to take account of these laws, and to create the conditions through which its aide-memoires could express the cause threatened by them by communicating memory without making it public. Treason and sedition legislation outlawed the quotidian exchange of discourse, free association and conversational objects or objects for show in Jacobite culture, and made it seek the safety of silence, even in its use of words, a process which invariably rendered the use of language either allusive or oblique.
