A ground-breaking study of how literature both reflected and
contributed to the eclipse and subsequent revival of militarism in
the nineteenth century. Focusing on four major disputes in the
Crimea, India, the Sudan, and South Africa as well as the role of
the army in Britain, John Peck examines how Victorian writers
responded to military issues. At the heart of the book is a dilemma
that characterises the Victorian period: the impossibility of
reconciling imperial aggression with liberal domestic values.
