The Historical Journal provides two interesting articles.
One
study by Anna Plassart discusses Scottish attitudes towards the French
Revolution in the 1790s. She finds that Scottish writers were worried about the new Revolutionary
France. While the nobles had been
overthrown, France’s traditional national pride was replaced by a
more enthusiastic national sentiment between individuals and state which could
be dangerous in the future.

1848 - The Duke of Chartres at Valmy (1792) by Eloi Firmin Feron
A
study by Anders Ingram focuses on English writing in response to the
Ottoman siege of Vienna in 1683.
Apparently this military event generated more seventeenth century
English writing on the Ottoman’s than any other event involving that
empire. The author focused on ballads
written immediately after the event and finds that the image of
the Turk was used often by ballad writers to connect the siege to political
events of England at the time.
