Reviews

'This is an excellent book, which will take its place as a critical touchstone for scholars investigating its broad subject... This volume demonstrates clearly and emphatically the multiple benefits of the academic symposium: it is well-conceived, intellectually of a piece though by no means uniform, and it gathers together a wealth of expertise.' Literature & History '... these essays offer a satisfyingly open-ended view of the internalised and textualised battles which superseded the literal battlefield of Waterloo, and all complicate productively the reader's impression of the writers and their politics.' BARS Bulletin
