| Abstract
|
:
|
During the first half of the nineteenth century, the military era of Wellington yielded to a new kind of liberal society, the mid-Victorians turning their backs on the army. In the last two decades of the century, however, there was a thorough-going resurgence of militarism. This major new study of the Victorian period considers the way in which literature both reflected and contributed to a double process of social change
