A New Naval History

This volume brings together a diverse selection of the latest academic research in the field of naval history. It is the first publication to capture a new form of naval history that engages with race, sexuality, gender, material culture, popular culture and fine art.

Description

A New Naval History brings together the most significant and interdisciplinary approaches to contemporary naval history.

The last few decades have witnessed a transformation in how this field is researched and understood, and this volume captures the state of a field that continues to develop apace.

It examines, through the prism of naval affairs, issues of nationhood and imperialism; the legacy of Nelson; the socio-cultural realities of life in ships and naval bases; and the processes of commemoration, journalism, and stage-managed pageantry that plotted the interrelationship of ship and shore.

This bold and original publication will be essential for undergraduate and postgraduate students of naval and maritime history. Beyond that, though, it marks an important intervention into wider historiographies that will be read by scholars from across the spectrum of social history, cultural studies, and the analysis of national identity.
