About this product
Product Information
Youth, Heroism and War Propaganda explores how the young maritime hero became a major new figure of war propaganda in the second half of the long 18th century. At that time, Britain was searching for a new national identity, and the young maritime hero and his exploits conjured images of vigour, energy, enthusiasm and courage. Adopted as centrepiece in a campaign of concerted war propaganda leading up to the Battle of Trafalgar, the young hero came to represent much that was quintessentially British at this major turning point in the nation's history. By drawing on a wide range of sources, this study shows how the young hero gave maritime youth a symbolic power which it had never before had in Britain. It offers a valuable contribution to the field of British military and naval history, as well as the study of British identity, youth, heroism and propaganda.

Reviews
" The Naval Chronicle is the literary centerpiece here; Ronald takes us through its advertisements, its news columns, its biographies, its nautical verse, its accounts of "Heroic Atchievements," and its appeals to humanity for the "destitute midshipman" and the "unfortunate youth." Fascinating material." - SEL: Studies in English Literature 1500-1900, Youth, Heroism and Naval Propaganda is a highly original work which makes a significant contribution. Occupying a nexus between naval history, maritime history, cultural, and literary studies, it deserves to be read by scholars in all those fields. At the heart of Ronald's study is an understanding of the previously undisclosed history of the Naval Chronicle (1799-1818). Although this periodical has long been a central primary source in naval and maritime history, Ronald reveals here, for the first time, its full literary history and ideological significance., The Naval Chronicle is the literary centerpiece here; Ronald takes us through its advertisements, its news columns, its biographies, its nautical verse, its accounts of "Heroic Atchievements," and its appeals to humanity for the "destitute midshipman" and the "unfortunate youth." Fascinating material.
