From the Napoleonic Wars to the present, from the battlefront to the home front, this unit explores the history of war as a social and cultural experience in Modern Europe. The unit encourages a critical engagement with how war has been experienced, represented, remembered, imagined and commemorated by participants, the public, governments and the media. The unit introduces students to key historical debates and draws upon a rich body of sources including film, television, literature and war memorials. Case studies are drawn from the French Revolutionary-Napoleonic Wars, the First and Second World Wars, and the recent war in the Balkans.
