Writing War in Britain and France, 1370-1854: A History of Emotions
brings together leading scholars in medieval, early modern,
eighteenth-century, and Romantic studies. The assembled essays
trace continuities and changes in the emotional register of war, as
it has been mediated by the written record over six centuries.
Through its wide selection of sites of utterance, genres of writing
and contexts of publication and reception, Writing War in Britain
and France, 1370-1854 analyses the emotional history of war in
relation to both the changing nature of conflicts and the changing
creative modes in which they have been arrayed and experienced.
Each chapter explores how different forms of writing defines war -
whether as political violence, civilian suffering, or a theatre of
heroism or barbarism - giving war shape and meaning, often
retrospectively. The volume is especially interested in how the
written production of war as emotional experience occurs within a
wider historical range of cultural and social practices. Writing
War in Britain and France, 1370-1854: A History of Emotions will be
of interest to students of the history of emotions, the history of
pre-modern war and war literature.
