A Week at Waterloo in 1815 is a historical book written by Magdalene De Lancey and published in 1906. The book is a first-hand account of the Battle of Waterloo, which took place on June 18, 1815, and is considered one of the most significant battles in European history. De Lancey was present at the battle, having accompanied her husband, Colonel Sir William Howe De Lancey, who was the chief of staff to the Duke of Wellington.The book provides a detailed description of the events leading up to the battle, the battle itself, and its aftermath. De Lancey describes the movements of the armies, the tactics used by both sides, and the experiences of the soldiers on the battlefield. She also provides insights into the personal lives of the soldiers and officers, including her own husband, who was severely wounded during the battle and later died.The book is a unique and valuable historical document, as it provides a rare perspective on the Battle of Waterloo from the point of view of a woman who was present at the scene.

A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Sir Walter Scott, 1st Baronet, (15 August 1771 – 21 September 1832) was a Scottish historical novelist, playwright and poet. Many of his works remain classics of both English-language literature and of Scottish literature. Famous titles include Ivanhoe, Rob Roy, Old Mortality, The Lady of the Lake, Waverley, The Heart of Midlothian and The Bride of Lammermoor. Although primarily remembered for his extensive literary works and his political engagement, Scott was an advocate, judge and legal administrator by profession, and throughout his career combined his writing and editing work with his daily occupation as Clerk of Session and Sheriff-Depute of Selkirkshire.
