In These Times

We know the thrilling, terrible stories of the battles of the Napoleonic wars - but what of those left behind? The people on a Norfolk farm, a Yorkshire mill, a Welsh iron foundry, an Irish village, a London bank or a Scottish mountain? A beautifully observed history of the home front during the Napoleonic Wars, from the prize-winning author of }The Lunar Men{ and }Nature's Engraver{, illustrated by the satires of Gillray, Rowlandson and the paintings of Turner and Constable.
