9781861761859: The Nelson Encyclopaedia

Sinopsis

Even after two centuries interest in Nelson shows no signs of abating. This book sets out to answer any question about Nelson likely to be raised, either by a casual reference or in a more detailed study of the navy, the wars, or the social history of the period. Entries cover people, ships, places and events associated with the man, and extend to contemporary issues like changing interpretations of his actions and motivation. Arranged alphabetically and fully cross-referenced, every subject is accorded enough length for proper discussion, and each is followed by a list of suggested further reading. The book concludes with appendices devoted to a full bibliography, a chronology of Nelson's life and times, and a selection of significant documents, some previously unpublished. Finally, this reference book is rounded off with a careful selection of illustrations.
