An Encyclopaedia of Napoleon's Europe by Alan Warwick Palmer

An Encyclopaedia of Napoleon's Europe 
by Alan Warwick Palmer  

Alan Palmers An Encyclopaedia of Napoleons Europe is a comprehensive A-Z of life in the age of Napoleon, the years between 1797 and 1815. 

Artists, poets, philosophers, scientists and authors all advanced society in their own ways, while men at court and on battlefields fought gruesome wars and suffered from the perils of the age. 

Napoleons Europe, naturally, was so much more than one man, though Napoleon was a pivotal figure in contemporary history. He conquered foreign lands, passed laws, spoke regularly to the rulers of Europe, freed its people while ruling with an iron fist and gave his name to a series of wars. 

In the eighteen years centred on by Palmer, Russia woke up to its potential for European dominance, and nationalism seized the people of both Italy and Germany, who came together as countries rather than a series of disparate discrete regions. These countries and their noble men and women are listed with as much detail as their French counterparts.
