On the other hand, literature, at least what I've read, gives little indication that, in England at least, these felt like total war. The Napoleonic Wars were huge as a share of GDP; Jane Austen wrote Pride and Prejudice in 1813 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

Two things strike me. First is how big those 18th-century wars were. Someone — Churchill? — called the Seven Years' War the first world war. Not an exaggeration 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

Not that the wars were genteel — the Peninsular War was a nightmare of mass killing, with Britain very much involved. Interesting to ask why it left so little cultural mark in English lit (as opposed, say, to Spanish art) 4/ https://t.co/NPdwuwdbKy — PolitiTweet.org
