In These Times

Descriere

We know the thrilling, terrible stories of the battles of the Napoleonic wars - but what of those left behind?

A beautifully observed history of the home front during the Napoleonic Wars, from the prize-winning author of }The Lunar Men{ and }Nature's Engraver{, illustrated by the satires of Gillray, Rowlandson and the paintings of Turner and Constable. Now in paperback.
