This book provides summaries and analyses of more than 250 novels and 25 films and examines the extent to which they accurately reflect the history, mores and manners of the period and the extent to which they reveal the ideas and attitudes of their authors and of the periods in which they were written. Particular emphasis is placed on the nature and importance of the war at sea for the British and on the role of famous naval officers such as Nelson, Pellew, Duncan, Smith and Cochrane in the defeat of Napoleon.
