War, Empire and Slavery c. 1790-1820

"English Cultural History Conference"

May 16, 2008 - May 18, 2008
University of York, York, England United Kingdom

Highlights: The revolutionary and Napoleonic wars are frequently interpreted as a European phenomenon, intertwined with political and cultural nation-building across Europe. Yet they could also be called the first world war, as one which touched every continent of the globe. This conference aims to attract scholars from different disciplinary backgrounds as well as those with specialised knowledge of different geographical areas. Charting the experiences of the men and women engaged in the conflicts requires not only discussion of the conventional sources of military and political history, but critical examination of personal and autobiographical writings and their cultural and imaginative contexts.

Event Profiles: Speakers: Christopher Bayly, Linda Colley, Laurent Dubois, Rebecca Earle, Janet Hartley, Geoff Quilley, and James Walvin
