- This set of four lectures will examine the life and impact of one of the most famous figures in all of European history, the French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. From a lesser noble family in the provinces, Napoleon charted a unique life course, one intimately tied to the French Revolution, its ideals and political upheavals. His was also one of the most brilliant military careers of any age as he vanquished all of France’s enemies, save two: Great Britain and Russia. His rendezvous with them would prove his and France’s undoing. Come explore this dynamic figure along with exceptional contemporaries such as the Duke of Wellington, Horatio Nelson, Czar Alexander I, Maurice de Talleyrand, and Klemens von Metternich.
