Military literature was one of the most prevalent forms of writing
to appear during the Romantic era, yet its genesis in this period
is often overlooked. Ranging from histories to military policy,
manuals, and a new kind of imaginative war literature in military
memoirs and novels, modern war writing became a highly influential
body of professional writing. Drawing on recent research into the
entanglements of Romanticism with its wartime trauma and revisiting
Michel Foucault's ground-breaking work on military discipline and
the biopolitics of modern war, this book argues that military
literature was deeply reliant upon Romantic cultural and literary
thought and the era's preoccupations with the body, life, and
writing. Simultaneously, it shows how military literature runs
parallel to other strands of Romantic writing, forming a sombre
shadow against which Romanticism took shape and offering its own
exhortations for how to manage the life and vitality of the nation.
