The Glorious First of June 1794 was the first great naval
engagement of the Great War with France (1793-1815). Participants
on both sides considered it the hardest-fought battle between them
in the eighteenth century and both sides felt they attained their
objectives: the British captured or sank seven French battleships,
the French saved their big grain convoy from America.In this book
experts explore the naval campaign from both British and French
perspectives, setting it in its wider context of the war strategy
of the rival powers. The intensity of the encounter is demonstrated
through the accounts of eyewitnesses, three of which are here
published for the first time, and the impact of the battle on
public imagination is traced through plays, prints and paintings,
and through the artefacts and memorials by which it was
commemorated. Considered to be the hardest-fought battle between
France and Britain in the 18th century Includes the accounts of eye
witnessses, some published for the first time Traces the impact of
the battle on public imagination by discussing plays, print,
paintings, artefacts and memorials.
