"Before and After Waterloo" by Edward Stanley is a collection of letters written in the early 19th century. This work showcases the reflections and observations of Stanley, who served as the Bishop of Norwich. The letters chronicle his travels in Europe during significant historical moments, particularly around the time of the Napoleonic Wars and the aftermath of the Battle of Waterloo. Through his travels across various countries like France, Italy, and Spain, Stanley provides insights into the cultural and political climate of the time, revealing the profound impacts these events had on the lives of ordinary people. The opening of the book introduces Edward Stanley just as he embarks on an extensive Grand Tour of Europe in 1802, shortly after the Treaty of Amiens, which allowed safe passage for English travelers to France. His letters offer vibrant accounts of his experiences, as he navigates the remnants of the Reign of Terror in France and describes the poverty and military presence he observes. Stanley's first impressions of cities like Rouen and Paris reflect a mixture of excitement and disillusionment as he contrasts the beauty of the landscape with the scars of war. His observations are further enriched by anecdotes of cultural encounters and interactions with locals, which provide a personal lens through which to view this tumultuous period in history.
