In the course of the nineteenth century, the battlefields of Waterloo and Ypres in Belgium became veritable burial grounds for generations of dead British military, indirectly leading to the most intensive ties between the two countries. By exploring this twofold path, the author uncovers a series of cross-influences and creative similarities within the Belgo-British artistic community, and explores the background against which the British national identity was constructed. Revealing unknown links between some of the most famous artists on both sides of the channel, such as D.G. Rossetti and Jan Van Eyck; Christina Rossetti and Fernand Khnopff; John Millais and Pieter Breughel, and Lewis Carroll and Quentin Massys, the book emphasises an artistic cross-fertilisation that can be found within battlefield literature throughout the nineteenth century, including examples from the likes of William M. Thackeray, Frances Trollope and Charlotte Bront�e. Providing a rich intercultural history of Belgo-British relations after the battle of Waterloo, this interdisciplinary book will appeal to scholars and students researching history, literature, art and cultural studies."--Publisher information.Britain and the World Art and warCivilizationHistoryGreat BritainRelationsBelgiumHistory19th centuryBelgiumRelationsGreat BritainHistory19th centuryArt and war.CivilizationHistory.704.94935502Demoor Marysa558341MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910556889303321A Cross-Cultural History of Britain and Belgium, 1815-19182819555UNINA
