Abstract

In "The Crimean War and its Afterlife: Making Modern Britain," Lara Kriegel examines the lasting impact of the Crimean War on British national identity. Kriegel focuses on six case studies, including well-known figures like Florence Nightingale and events like the Charge of the Light Brigade, as well as lesser-known aspects such as travelers to the Crimea and war graves. She explores how these elements have shaped Victorian values and continue to influence discussions about belonging in Britain today. Kriegel's book offers a comprehensive analysis of the Crimean War's legacies and their significance in understanding British cultural identity. [Extracted from the article]
