Gentlemen of the Blade: A Social and Literary History of the

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Brodsky, G. W. Stephen / Stephen Brodsky, G. W., PUBLISHER: Greenwood Press, Brodsky contends that three factors--constitutional, commercial, ong>anong>d technological--in turn, have caused Britain to raise large citizen forces. Because Britain traditionally has been ong>anong> unmilitary state which has not maintained large stong>anong>ding armies, this ethos of "amateurism" merged with the "professionalism" of the Regular Army.

A wide rong>anong>ge of prose ong>anong>d poetry illustrates that spirit ong>anong>d the military cultural experience in which it evolved in Great Britain from the Restoration through World War II. In ong>anong> overview of later developments, including the Falklong>anong>ds War, Brodsky enunciates the challenge facing the traditional ethos in the nuclear age. ong>Anong>alyzing the effect of the literary idiom, he questions the future direction of representative literature.
