The Dynasts: An Epic-Drama of the War with Napoleon by Thomas Hardy
"The Dynasts: An Epic-Drama of the War with Napoleon" by Thomas Hardy is an epic in verse and prose published between 1904 and 1908. Spanning three parts, nineteen acts, and over one hundred thirty scenes, this monumental work chronicles the Napoleonic Wars from 1805 to 1815. Hardy blends historical figures with metaphysical "Spirits" who observe humanity's struggles. The drama follows major battles—Trafalgar, Austerlitz, Waterloo—while exploring themes of power, dynasty, and the futility
of war through sweeping landscapes and intimate human moments. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
