Summary
This book explores imperial entanglements to reassess the Napoleonic Empire as a missing linkor at least an important chainin the global and longue dure history of Empires. In recent years Napoleonic studies have, belatedly but resolutely, embraced the transnational historiographical turn, vastly expanding the fields geographical scope. Its canonical chronological boundaries, on the other hand, appear increasingly narrow against this wider backdrop, giving the impression of a parenthetical, almost anachronistic aside from 1799 to 1815. What connects, and what doesnt connect, the Napoleonic Empire to the Age of Empire, remains by and large an open question. Put another way, this book attempts to locate the Napoleonic empire in World History. Thomas Dodman is Assistant Professor in the Department of French at Columbia University, USA. A historian of modern Europe and empire, his research focuses on forms and experiences of social change in times of war, revolution, and colonization. He is the author of What Nostalgia Was: War, Empire, and the Time of a Deadly Emotion (2018) and a co-editor, together with Bruno Cabanes, Herv Mazurel, and Gene Tempest, of Une histoire de la guerre, du XIXe sicle nos jours (2018). He has prepared an issue of French Historical Studies on Epistolary Gestures (2021) with Anne Verjus and Caroline Muller, as well as several issues of Sensibilits: histoire, critique & sciences sociales, a journal he co-edits. Aurlien Lignereux is Professor of History at Sciences Po Grenoble Universit Grenoble Alpes, France. His research focuses on policing and police systems, on royalist politicization, on imperial rule in Napoleonic Europe, and on the social and cultural history of expatriate French civil servants both within dpartements runis under the reign of Napoleon and since their return to the country after 1814. His books include La France rbellionnaire. Les rsistances la gendarmerie, 1800-1859 (2008), Servir Napolon. Policiers et gendarmes dans les dpartements annexs, 1796-1814 (2012), LEmpire des Franais, 1799-1815 (2012), Chouans et Vendens contre lEmpire. 1815. lautre guerre des Cent-Jours (2015), and Les Impriaux.
