Excerpt from The Year of Trafalgar: Being an Account of the Battle and of the Events Which Led Up to It, With a Collection of the Poems and Ballads Written Thereupon Between 1805 and 1905 The Naval Campaign of 1805 has never yet been made the subject of a separate study in book form. This fact, however noticeable, does not, of course, prove the need for any fresh work of the kind. There are many Lives of Nelson and other historical books in which the Battle of Trafalgar and the events that led up to it fill a certain space and form an important element. If a new history is required, it will probably be supplied several times over during the present year by professional or well-qualified writers. The excuse for the appearance of the present little volume is that it aims at giving to the public something which is not very likely to be offered by anyone else, because it is the direct outcome of a personal point of view. There are some to whom Trafalgar is one of the ever-present scenes of the past, one of the worlds most poignant dramas, and Nelson a name of magic sound, a star of the first magnitude, that rose upon the earliest twilight of youth, and will burn until the dawn that puts all stars and candles out. This is, no doubt, a matter of temperament, but the temperament is not un-English and not uncommon among us: to foster it would be no small service to the Navy.

A happy idea carried to excellent completion by very competent hands is the best description of The Year of Trafalgar, by Henry Newbolt. It is not likely that this year of splendid memory will find a worthier literary tribute than this delightful volume. Mr. Newbolt’s is much more than a familiar story, gracefully retold. He has made an exhaustive study of all the details of the Naval Campaign of 1805, and his narrative is of distinct historical value. As might have been expected, Mr. Newbolt writes with deliberate sobriety and restraint. Great deeds are best told simply, and the last glorious chapter in the life of Nelson needs no literary embellishment. Every danger besetting a task full of difficulty is evaded. He is not laboured, nor pedantic, nor sentimental, but rather tells the great story in a direct and manly way, eminently befitting the subject. His is a book which every boy should read in "Nelson’s year," and no Briton of any age will read it unmoved. It was a happy thought to add to the narrative an anthology of Trafalgar poetry. It is a little curious, as Mr. Newbolt points out, how our greatest warlike achievements have received scant treatment from our poets. The "Victory " has been less fortunate than "The Revenge" or "The Temeraire." Strange that it did not rouse the war-bugle of Campbell to an immortal strain. Of all the verses, Mr. Newbolt’s own are perhaps the best. Some day, we trust, he will give us a song of Nelson to rank in all future patriotic anthologies with his incomparable "Drake’s Drum," "The Fighting Temeraire," and "The Ballad of the Bold Menelaus."—The Bookman 1905.

Charles Villiers Stanford wrote two cycles of songs for baritone with orchestra and chorus, setting nautical verses by the popular poet Henry Newbolt. From its premiere at the Leeds Musical Festival in October 1904, Songs of the Sea was a great success; Songs of the Fleet followed in 1910 and was transparently modeled on it (even quoting from the earlier work). Both works became very popular among amateur choral societies. Songs of the Sea was published in full score a year after its composition; it now appears in a critical edition for the first time in the present volume, which also includes the first publication of the orchestral version of Songs of the Fleet. Both works demonstrate Stanfords mastery of orchestral technique and sureness of touch. Newbolts texts alternate between heroic and sentimental moods; Stanford responded with music that is dramatic and atmosphericindeed, with some of the most remarkable textures of his whole oeuvre.

This assigns a rightful place in the British literary canon to four authors wrongly forgotten or marginalized. Each chapter on one of the four authors is subdivided into sections that present the writer's life, discussions of their writings organized by genre, and their connections with other writers of the day. The author draws on both published and unpublished sources to create a book about a literary period of dramatic transition.
