62 pages. Kinglake’s account of the Crimean War blends picturesque prose with biting irony, a style first honed in Eöthen and now applied to military history. Layard examines the book’s strengths and provocations, noting its rejection of scholarly conventions in favour of impressionistic storytelling. The article critiques Lord Raglan’s decisions-particularly the infamous order to leave infantry knapsacks aboard ship-and explores the strained coordination between British and French commanders. Kinglake’s portrayal of Raglan is both admiring and damning, casting him as a gentlemanly figure undone by systemic confusion. The review also reflects on how Kinglake’s literary voice shapes public memory of the campaign, elevating narrative over analysis. An authentic standalone article, extracted from a larger volume. Not a reprint or reproduction, but an original work in its own right. Preserved in a modern card cover, prepared for practicality - an unassuming but serviceable presentation that favours function over finery. Size: 18 x 26 cms. Category: Quarterly Review; Special Interest.
