Eighteenth-Century Naval Officers: A Transnational Perspective de Evan Wilson

Eighteenth-Century Naval Officers: A Transnational Perspective: War, Culture and Society, 1750–1850

Editat de Evan Wilson, AnnaSara Hammar, Jakob Seerup
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 noi 2019
This book surveys the lives and careers of naval officers across Europe at the height of the age of sail. It traces the professionalization of naval officers by exploring their preparation for life at sea and the challenges they faced while in command. It also demonstrates the uniqueness of the maritime experience, as long voyages and isolation at sea cemented their bond with naval officers across Europe while separating them from landlubbers. It depicts, in a way no previous study has, the parameters of their shared experiences—both the similarities that crossed national boundaries and connected officers, and the differences that can only be seen from an international perspective.

Recenzii

“This book will appeal to those interested in naval officer development, in the context of growing centralized state control. Social historians will appreciate the effort to explore the social background of officers, their path within each nation’s navy, and their standing in society.” (Thomas Malcomson, The Northern Mariner, cnrs-scrn.org, Vol. 30 (1), 2020)
