Given the scarcity of documentary evidence of royalism among ordinary men and women in Interregnum England, this dissertation contends that popular royalism can be recovered through the analysis of cheap print. An examination of entertaining pamphlets, ballads, chapbooks, and plays reveals that popular royalism was a dynamic phenomenon marked by incompatible ideas. It hewed not only to a backward-looking royalism aligned with the socially and politically conservative values of the Caroline elite, but also to a more progressive, forward-looking royalism informed by the populist politics that had fueled the revolution. Chapter 1 examines pamphlets published in the aftermath of the Battle of Worcester whose subject was highwayman James Hind. It argues that Charles II's defeat helped create an opportunity for a non-aristocratic royalism to exert itself. In these texts, support for monarchy clashes with notions of permeable social categories and egalitarian social organization. Chapter 2 surveys pamphlets that John Taylor, diehard royalist and prolific writer of cheap print, published during the Commonwealth. In Taylor's last works, the paradoxes of popular royalism manifested in his apparently incompatible commitments: fealty to an absolute sovereign and fidelity to the imperatives of a sovereign self. Chapter 3 proposes that a cluster of old stories recycled in the 1650s-The gentle craft, Jack of Newberie, and The shoomakers holiday-spoke to the fantasies of readers who wished for the restoration of monarchy and the Established Church. This chapter locates the tensions of popular royalism not so much within individual texts as across a set of related stories whose worker-heroes both defer to monarchical authority and mount a vigorous critique of royal policy. Chapter 4 maintains that the figure of the outlaw hero in pamphlets and black-letter ballads published in the late years of Cromwell's Protectorate was by then firmly attached to popular royalism. In the early Restoration, however, the figure and its politics seem to have been so threatening to the reestablished monarchy as to have warranted their containment.
