Lord Byron and the Guardians of Post-Waterloo War Ideology

Document Type : علمی - پژوهشی

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to elucidate the events in the aftermath of waterloo war and the ideology arising from it in the 19th-century England. The researchers are inclined to survey post-waterloo discourses in the light of New Historicism which is grounded on the mind-sets of the illustrious 20th-century philosopher, cultural historian, and archeologist Michel Foucault. The research elaborates on the crucial role the guardians of post-waterloo war ideology take in highlighting the significance of the battle in addition to explicating their role in foregrounding the weight of the English Army and its Tory commander, Lord Wellington in the victory. In this regard, Lord Byron's contemporaries' part as the cultural arm and propagandists of the dominant Tory Party has been discussed. What is more, the dominance and significance of major Tory publishers as staunch defenders of the English power structure has been analyzed in this paper. Last but not least, Lord Byron's revolutionary stance and response towards the above-mentioned ideology was illuminated in each section.
