This article offers a brief and synthetic overview of key representations of war in Early Modern and Modern English literature: Marlowe's Tamburlaine, Shakespeare's Henry V, Milton's Paradise Lost, the lyric poetry of the Romantic and Victorian period. It focusses on some of the ambiguities of such representations, which - often at the same time - justify and even glorify, but also denounce war in general and the bellicose role played by Britain in European and global affairs.
