Download or read book Twelve Years’ Military Adventure in Three-Quarters of the Globe – written by Captain John Blakiston and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2012-05-01 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Educated from a young age for the military profession of arms, John Blakiston was sent to the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich, becoming an Engineer assigned to East India Company army. Thereafter he transferred into the British army in Europe and then into the Portuguese service fighting in the Peninsula. He wrote his military memoirs in two volumes; each focussing on a period of his service in the military. The first volume concentrated on his time with the East India Company; it is very valuable not only for its own narrative, but also for the rarity of any narrative that describes the initial campaigns of the then Colonel Wellesley in command of a sizeable force and in semi-independent command. At the time of his commission into the East India Company, a new administration in India led by Marquess Richard Wellesley (the future Duke’s elder brother) was just installed and was to come into conflict with the armies of not only Tippoo Sultan, ruler of Mysore, but also with numerous bands of rebels.

Download or read book The Military Memoir and Romantic Literary Culture, 1780–1835 written by Neil Ramsey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining the memoirs and autobiographies of British soldiers during the Romantic period, Neil Ramsey explores the effect of these as cultural forms mediating warfare to the reading public during and immediately after the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic wars. Forming a distinct and commercially successful genre that in turn inspired the military and nautical novels that flourished in the 1830s, military memoirs profoundly shaped nineteenth-century British culture's understanding of war as Romantic adventure, establishing images of the nation's middle-class soldier heroes that would be of enduring significance through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. As Ramsey shows, the military memoir achieved widespread acclaim and commercial success among the reading public of the late Romantic era. Ramsey assesses their influence in relation to Romantic culture's wider understanding of war writing, autobiography, and authorship and to the shifting relationships between the individual, the soldier, and the nation. The memoirs, Ramsey argues, participated in a sentimental response to the period's wars by transforming earlier, impersonal traditions of military memoirs into stories of the soldier's personal suffering. While the focus on suffering established in part a lasting strand of anti-war writing in memoirs by private soldiers, such stories also helped to foster a sympathetic bond between the soldier and the civilian that played an important role in developing ideas of a national war and functioned as a central component in a national commemoration of war.
