The Emperor Has Arrived!

Director Ridley Scott’s sweeping historical epic Napoleon hits theaters on November 22. The film features Joaquin Phoenix as the Corsican who conquered Europe and Vanessa Kirby as Joséphine, the first empress of the French.

How accurate is Hollywood’s latest flirtation with the historical record? Well, the movie’s tagline is: He came from nothing. He conquered everything. However, the Bonapartes were minor nobility, Napoleon attended elite schools, and Britain and Russia remained defiantly unconquered. So this clearly isn’t a documentary, but a little dramatic license is sometimes necessary to ease the transition to the big screen.

Throughout the week we'll help you sort fact from fiction about Napoleon. You'll discover the man behind the myth, from his family life to his military achievements. We'll also discuss his enduring influence on pop culture. In today’s newsletter, we’re introducing the Little Corporal.




The True Story of Napoleon

“Glory is fleeting, but obscurity is forever.” That quote has been attributed to Napoleon, but it certainly doesn’t apply to him. For more than 200 years, he has captivated the public, and that interest shows no signs of ending.

In addition to being a military general, visionary, and reformer, Napoleon was also a writer. He penned several volumes of memoirs and wrote Clisson et Eugénie, a semi-autobiographical romance novel about a doomed love affair.






A Napoleonic Timeline

Trace the meteoric rise of Napoleon from artillery officer to self-proclaimed emperor of the French. And discover how a series of military defeats—culminating in the Battle of Waterloo—resulted in his exile to St. Helena.

While a prisoner on St. Helena, Napoleon reportedly wanted to escape to America. However, the presence of some 2,000 British soldiers on the island made leaving nearly impossible. 






Meet the Bonapartes

Napoleon’s family had an outsize role in European politics of the 19th century. Although his only son died months after his 21st birthday, Napoleon’s siblings and their children would wield tremendous power in the years of Napoleon’s empire and beyond.

At the height of Napoleon’s reign, his relatives also served as kings of Spain, Naples, Westphalia, and Holland.






In tomorrow’s newsletter, we’ll take a closer look at Napoleon’s family and the roles they played in his empire.
