Example text

In this context, Reresby's 'sour remark' that there were more Catholics in William's army than James's (c. 10 per cent of the officer corps were Catholic in 1687) was not without foundation: Some of the Exeter magistrates wondered what religion, if any, many of the soldiers belonged to. According to Robert Ferguson, who was with them, there were twice as many Roman Catholics in William's army as inJames's, though others put the number in each as equal. Just as the level of James's Catholicizing was exaggerated, so also was the nationality of his dynasty; the Prince of Wales (who was, of course, also accused of being illegitimate) being characterized either as a Welshman or a Gaelic-speaking buffoon in some antiJacobite writing.

Whig stereotypes had great staying power. 52 If Jacobitism had (with the exception of Dryden's later plays and interesting cases such as Thomas Otway's Venice Preserved) little grip on the stage, it nevertheless appears to have had the ability to exploit street theatre. By the early 1690s, Jacobite street performers were having a significant impact in London: the 'car- Inventing and Resisting Britain 39 nival culture of popular protest' they represented 'was based on improvised oral communication'.

27 It was not only the culture of the people which used spring ritual in Stuart celebration: just as Sir George Mackenzie lauded popular tradition in Scotland, so in England a writer like John Dryden not only drew on chapbook and popular literature for his religious apologia, The Hind and the Panther, but also delved into Stuart associations with May festivities in his widely circulated May Queen poem, 'The Lady's Song' (which exists in various versions): A choir of bright beauties in spring did appear To choose a May-lady to govern the year: All the nymphs were in white, and the shepherds in green, The garland was given, and Phyllis was queen; But Phyllis refused it, and sighing did say, I'll not wear a garland while Pan is away.
