Synopsis The Army and the Crowd in Mid-Georgian England by : Tony Hayter
"Mob violence and crime were recurring features of eighteenth-century English life. Food prices, turnpikes, elections, gin, Jews, Methodists, executions, fairs, poor theatrical performances--all were capable of producing riots which astonished foreigners and seriously alarmed the authorities. Social historians two generations ago included the phenomenon in their works without much analysis, as part of the rich variety of Georgian life. In more recent times valuable work has been done on the composition of mobs and the causes of disorder. This book is concerned with the task of suppression rather than with the causes of riots, a task which, in an age of only rudimentary policing, had to fall largely on the army"--Jacket, p. [2].

Synopsis Embodying the Militia in Georgian England by : Matthew McCormack
The militia was a key institution in Georgian England, and arguably one that was very characteristic of its age. A 'militia' is an informal military organisation made up of part-time civilians rather than professionals. As an island, Britain had historically relied on forces of this type for home defence, but threats of a French invasion during the Seven Years War (1756-63) highlighted that the militia had fallen into disrepair and prompted calls for its revival. In this important new study, Matthew McCormack re-examines the debates on the militia, and argues that this military reform was informed and driven by concerns about politics, nationalism, and gender. The militia tells us a great deal about the political culture of the eighteenth century, which was suspicious of professional armies and executive power, and which placed great emphasis on the liberties and masculine attributes of the ordinary citizen. Its advocates even suggested that mass military service would prompt a reinvigoration of English masculinity. The Militia Act passed into law in 1757. From this date until the New Militia's slow demise after the Napoleonic Wars, Embodying the Militia in Georgian England considers civilian men's experience of military service. How was the militia 'embodied' - both in the contemporary sense of assembling for service, and also as a gendered bodily experience? Chapters explore questions such as physical training, masculine honour, material culture, self-identity, and citizenship. As such, the volume's interdisciplinary approaches offer new perspectives on the history of war.

Synopsis Britain As A Military Power, 1688-1815 by : Professor Jeremy Black
In 1688, Britain was successfully invaded, its army and navy unable to prevent the overthrow of the government. 1815, Britain was the strongest power in the world with the most succesful navy and the largest empire. Britain had not only played a prominent role in the defeat of Napoleonic France, but had also established itself as a significant power in South Asia and was unsurpassed in her global reach. Her military strength was related to, and based on, one of the best systems of public finance in the world and held a strong trade position. This illustrated text assesses the military aspects of this shift, concentrating on the multi-faceted nature of the British military effort.; Topics covered include: the rise of Britain; an analysis of military infrastructure; warfare in the British Isles; conventional warfare in Europe; trans- oceanic warfare with European powers; the challenge of America; and the challenge of Revolutionary and Napoleonic France.
