Youth, Heroism and War Propaganda explores how the young maritime
hero became a major new figure of war propaganda in the second half
of the long 18th century. At that time, Britain was searching for a
new national identity, and the young maritime hero and his exploits
conjured images of vigour, energy, enthusiasm and courage. Adopted
as centrepiece in a campaign of concerted war propaganda leading up
to the Battle of Trafalgar, the young hero came to represent much
that was quintessentially British at this major turning point in
the nation's history. By drawing on a wide range of sources, this
study shows how the young hero gave maritime youth a symbolic power
which it had never before had in Britain. It offers a valuable
contribution to the field of British military and naval history, as
well as the study of British identity, youth, heroism and
propaganda.
