The authors are interested in exploring representations
associated with the threatened invasions of 1797-8 and 1803-5 and with
the characterisations of French and British military and machines. This
is a period of intense hostilities and deep anxiety about the prospect
of British defeat - and we are interested in exploring how this medium
of representation works with both comic and serious representations to
contemporary events.
