Title: Resisting Napoleon
Description: "The long war with Revolutionary France had a fundamental impact on British political culture. The most dramatic example of this is the mass mobilization of the British people in response to French invasion threats throughout the last years of the century but, most spectacularly, in the period of 1803-05, after the collapse of the Peace of Amiens, and the massing of invasion fleet by Napoleon."

"By bringing together historians of Britain and France to examine the dynamics of the conflict between the two nations in this period, this book measures its impact on their domestic political cultures, and its effect on their perceptions of each other. In so doing it will encourage scholars to examine in more detail aspects of popular mobilization which have hitherto been largely ignored, such as the resurgence of loyalism in 1803, and to see contributions in the light of the dual contexts of domestic political conflict and their war with each other. The book contributes both new detail to our understanding of the period and a better overall understanding of the complex place that each nation came to occupy in the consciousness of the other."--Jacket.
