Napoleon and British Song, 1797–1822

Oskar Cox Jensen

Research output: Book/ReportBook

Abstract

This study offers a radical reassessment of a crucial period of political and cultural history. By looking at some 400 songs, many of which are made available to hear, and at their writers, singers, and audiences, it questions both our relationship with song, and ordinary Britons' relationship with Napoleon, the war, and the idea of Britain itself.
