| In London, the principles of Classical design promulgated by the 'old masters' were filtered mainly through Palladianism and two dynastic monarchies, the Stuarts and Hanoverians, who oversaw the urban transformation and expansion of medieval London. The latest reissue, Dido and Pa (1986), features the scrappy and indomitable Dido Twite and her repellant father Abednego, who after several thwarted attempts is still plotting with the Hanoverians to overthrow King Richard and put Bonnie Prince George on the throne. Initially it was not popular in Scotland, and indeed the first half of the 18th century saw various attempts to overthrow the Hanoverians and restore the Scottish Stuarts to the British throne. |
