Two hundred years on, Napoleon Bonaparte and the Napoleonic Legend continue to captivate historians, novelists, filmmakers, and the general public. More works have been written about Napoleon than days have passed since his death. Ridley Scott’s Napoleon (2023), has the tagline, “He came from nothing. He conquered everything.” This course aims to dissect the modern image of Napoleon and separate the man from the myth. The first part of the course will examine Napoleon, the man, within the tumult of the ancien régime, the French Revolution, and the Napoleonic Period. The second part of the course will focus on the creation, manipulation, cooptation, and reification of the Napoleonic legend through a discussion of various films, books, and an examination of Napoleonic monuments.
