Harriet Martineau (1802-1876), Social philosopher and writer.

An influential and determined author, Harriet Martineau specialized in political economy, education, sociology and other topics that were, at the time, usually considered inappropriate for women to explore. Martineau was one of a number of women who campaigned for the abolition of slavery in Britain and across the world. After a visit to America in 1834, she wrote an article highlighting the horrors of slavery there. Among her many other works of theory, fact and fiction, she also wrote The Hour and the Man, a ‘historical romance’ about Toussaint L’Ouverture, the leader of the Haitian Revolution.

Description

The theme of ‘The Black Brunswickers’ is an imaginative incident depicting a historical moment. The Black Brunswickers were a special troop raised by Frederick William, Duke of Brunswick (1771 - 1815) in 1809. The regiment consisted of the best German gentlemen and was known as the ‘Death or Glory’, a name which derived from their distinctive death’s head hat badge and their apparent devotion to duty. The troops suffered severe losses at the battle of Quatre Bras at Waterloo in 1815.
