Reviews
'This handsome collection captures both the uncertainty prior to and the triumphalism after the annus mirabulisof 1759.' --Daniel O'Quinn, Studies in English Literature vol 55:03:2015 'This excellent collection not only throws valuable light on the period of Seven Years War but also offers a model that is appropriate for other periods.... Well produced and handsomely illustrated.' --Jeremy Black, Journal of Eighteenth-Century Studies; vol 39:01:2016, "Wide-ranging and extremely readable, The Culture of the Seven Years' Waris an impressive collaborative achievement that will appeal to all scholars of the eighteenth century." --James Watt, Department of English and Related Literature, University of York "It is a pleasure to recommend this collection of essays devoted to cultural repercussions echoing down the decades from the Seven Years' War. Its readership is potentially very wide, extending through British, Canadian, and American literary and historical studies to political science, art history, and beyond." --Timothy Erwin, Department of English, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, 'This handsome collection captures both the uncertainty prior to and the triumphalism after the annus mirabulis of 1759.'

Synopsis
The Seven Years' War (1756-1763) was the decisive conflict of the eighteenth century - Winston Churchill called it the first "world war" - and the clash which forever changed the course of North American history. Yet compared with other momentous conflicts like the Napoleonic Wars or the First World War, the cultural impact of the Seven Years' War remains woefully understudied. The Culture of the Seven Years' Waris the first collection of essays to take a broad interdisciplinary and multinational approach to this important global conflict. Rather than focusing exclusively on political, diplomatic, or military issues, this collection examines the impact of representation, identity, and conceptions and experiences of empire. With essays by notable scholars that address the war's impact in Europe and the Atlantic world, this volume is sure to become essential reading for those interested in the relationship between war, culture, and the arts., The Seven Years' War (1756-1763) was the decisive conflict of the eighteenth century - Winston Churchill called it the first "world war" - and the clash which forever changed the course of North American history.
