The Victorian Army At Home
Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
this book is an inquiry in the world of Victorian Britain's most neglected and misunderstood characters - the regular soldier. Commonly the victim of jokes and discrimination, but the pet of both music halls and polite society whenever trouble was afoot, the soldier lived in a world that was far removed in many respects from the mainstream of society. Yet he as much as anyone carried the initial burden of Empire. Often the leading edge of British civilisation and for many native peoples the personification of European society, it was in his footsteps that British rule, customs and language were spread and that commerce flourished. This important study sheds new light on the man in the ranks - who he was, what he was like, and why. Ex-library book. Minor shelf wear to the dust jacket.
