This book is about the theatre of power and identity that unfolded
in and between Britain and Germany in the decades before the First
World War. It explores what contemporaries described as the cult of
the navy: the many ways in which the navy and the sea were
celebrated in the fleet reviews, naval visits and ship launches
that were watched by hundreds of thousands of spectators. At once
royal rituals and national entertainments, these were events at
which tradition, power and claims to the sea were played out
between the nations. This was a public stage on which the domestic
and the foreign intersected and where the modern mass market of
media and consumerism collided with politics and international
relations. Conflict and identity were literally acted out between
the two countries. By focusing on this dynamic arena, Jan R??ger
offers a fascinating new history of the Anglo-German antagonism.
