The Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars have been described as the
first 'total war', which affected millions of people's lives and
brought a whole continent into contact with armies and bloodshed.
But the extent to which the constant state of war that existed
between 1792 and 1815 shaped everyday experience has been much less
studied, even although these wars, conducted by mass armies and
often mobilized by patriotism, led to the circulation of millions
of people throughout Europe and beyond. The changing nature of
warfare had far-reaching consequences for civil society as well as
for those directly engaged in fighting. This volume of essays by
international scholars examines the formative experiences of men
and women - soldiers, citizens and civilians - in the years
1792-1815, drawing particularly on their personal documents and
social and cultural practices, to offer a perspective on the wars
which is at some distance from broader and more familiar historical
narratives.
