Description
This book examines the life, character and achievements of one of the best known figures in British history. The contributors - including experts from both sides of the Atlantic - reflect the new wave of Wellington studies following the opening of the massive Wellington archive at Southampton University. Their essays provide a thematic and chronological sequence illustrating the duke's many-faceted career, from early years to his later years, when he was the most celebrated figure in public life. The book will be useful to historians and teachers of the period, to students of the early nineteenth century, and to the general reader.
