Funded Activity Summary

Veteran Culture and the Military Memoirs of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. This project contributes to an understanding not only of veteran culture in early nineteenth-century France and Europe, but also of the ways in which veterans across western cultures assimilate, process and reconstruct memories of war. This necessarily will lead to a better understanding of role story-telling in the construction of national histories. In addition to offering new insights that will inform scholarship and teaching in the field history, it will also redress a significant gap in the international literature. The findings of this study thus assist in establishing Australian historical scholarship at the forefront of international research initiatives in memory, auto-biography and memoir writing.
