| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The Battle of Waterloo, so iconic to the Victorians, is altogether less relevant to modern Britain's self-image. Though the image of stalwart defence and triumph over unreason and tyranny is an enduring motif in the British narrative, Waterloo has been eclipsed in popular consciousness by the battles of the Second World War. Nevertheless, Waterloo remains a significant milestone in world history, for it assured the dominance, for better or worse, of a European model of liberal capitalism. |
