This volume explores how the Revolutionary and Napoleonic wars
(1793-1815) were experienced, perceived and narrated by
contemporaries in Britain and Ireland. These conflicts have been
described as the first modern or 'total' war with far-reaching
consequences for military and civilian society and the development
of modern identities. Yet in contrast to the innovative body of
scholarship on the First and Second World Wars there has been
little sustained analysis of the personal experiences of men and
women involved directly or indirectly in these conflicts.
Narratives of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars addresses this
historiographical gap using letters, diaries and personal
testimonies by soldiers, sailors and civilians to shed new light on
the social and cultural history of the period and the history of
warfare more broadly.
