Historian Dr Clare Jackson (Trinity Hall, Cambridge) is the presenter of a three-part series on "The Stuarts" which is being shown on BBC2 Scotland on 30 January, 6 February and 13 February, and shortly afterwards on BBC2 elsewhere in the UK. In it Clare argues that the Stuarts, more than any other, were Britain’s defining royal family. In the century to come, not only the political shape of modern Britain would emerge, but the embryonic ideas of a new British identity.
Clare was an IASH Fellow in 2003, 2004 and 2006. She is Senior Tutor at Trinity Hall, Cambridge.
