Presented here is an English translation of a study that was part
of a distinguished French series on the country's post-Revolution
history. Unlike much Napoleonic literature that features the
personality and foreign policy of the Emperor, it describes the
condition of France and the French people during the fifteen years
immediately following their great revolution. The translator, R. R.
Palmer, is a distinguished historian who has written and translated
many books in French history, including The Coming of the French
Revolution by Georges Lefebvre (Princeton). Applying the methods of
the new social history (Annales school), the author covers the
political, administrative, social, economic, and cultural facets of
the First Empire. Part I deals with the domestic program and
institutions under Napoleon and the fervor of the new chief of
state as he sought to establish a coherent, efficient, and
thoroughly controlled regime. Part II examines the opposition to
his system and the reasons behind the imperfect realization of his
ideal. It discusses population and demographic trends, social
structure, and economic activity--all of which eluded Napoleon's
grasp.
