About This Item

London England: Jonathan Cape. Fine/Near Fine. 2004. First Edition. Cloth. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall Octavo 022406097X Hardback Hardback. First Edition. Nelson. A Dream of Glory. There have been numerous biographies of Nelson, but most fail to penetrate the mythology encrusting Britains greatest naval hero and none had been based upon a thorough overhaul of the original sources. The author has examined thousands of navel, military, diplomatic and personal documents, many unused be previous Nelson scholars. He has ruthlessly stripped away the legends and brilliantly reconstructed Nelson's private and public life. This book charts the period of Nelson's career most neglected by earlier writers - from childhood to his debut as a public hero, after the breathtaking vistory against the Spanish fleet at Cape St. Vincent, when he became an admiral and stood on the verge of international fame. Dealing with every facet of Nelson's crowded life - the man, the naval officer and the Georgian - the autho offers the only full account of Nelson's early voyages and the first complete analysis of the formative incidents in his career, including his conflict with civil and naval superiors in the West Indies, his campaigns in Corsica and his almost forgotten service as a commodore in the Mediterranean. Throughout there are revealing and sometimes startling discoveries about his relationships with his family, patrons, officers and men, and with his women. Illustrated. 943 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.) .
