-------------------------There are few figures in British history more famous and more influential than Vice-Admiral Horatio, Lord Nelson, KB. This book offers for the first time a comprehensive overview by the world's leading Nelson scholars of all aspects of the Nelson story. It makes the ideal companion for anyone who wants to find out more about this remarkable character and the myths that have surrounded him since his death, and will undoubtedly become a standard reference work for those already familiar with the details of the Nelson legend.

---------------------------------From Hitler's plan to transport Nelson's Column to Berlin to the naming of over fifty streets after Nelson and his battles in the Greater London area alone, the book is a treasure trove of information. More than this, it offers detailed studies by experts in the field, including Nelson's biographer, Tom Pocock, the Curator Emeritus of the National Maritime Museum, John Munday, and Emma Hamilton's biographer, Flora Fraser, on key areas of Nelson studies, including letters, portraits, sites and relics.

 An introductory essay by the editor tells the story of the development of the Nelson legend from his death at Trafalgar to the present day.Complemented by a gazetteer and chronology, together with over a hundred illustrations and eight pages of colour plates, The Nelson Companion is an indispensable guide to an enduringly fascinating subject
