About This Book

Based on compelling new research and drawing on recent developments in literary and historical studies, The Theatres of War reveals the importance of the theatre in the shaping of responses to the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars (1793-1815). Gillian Russell explores the roles of the army and navy as both actors and audiences, showing that theatricality was crucial to the self-perception of soldiers and sailors fighting on behalf of an often distant domestic audience.
