"Waterloo and the Romantic Imagination" offers a look at the cultural significance of the Battle of Waterloo, and the impact it had on British Romantic culture. Drawing on a range of approaches it aims to redefine the Romantic period as an age of inter and intra national conflict, thus overturning conventional notions of "The Romantic Project", and re-writing the period from first principles. Topics covered include: the impact of Waterloo on romantic ideas of individual and national identity, the representation of the dead and wounded in poetry, painting and prose, the work of canonical and non- canonical poets.
