Reviews
"Un recueil passionnant, qui remplit une lacune indéniable...Il a l’avantage de montrer l’intensité et la richesse des échanges et des connections."
Annie Jourdan, University of Amsterdam
H-France Review, no. 223 (2011), 11: 1-5
"[...] the volume succeeds to illustrate that geopolitical, cultural and spatial changes in Europe also promoted such changes in the Atlantic world. Moreover, the volume exemplarily shows that the French Imperial model had long-lasting influences on the newly independent nations of the Americas."
"[...] thoroughly-compiled and edited volume."
Andreas Huebner, GCSC,Justus-Liebig-University Giessen
(Itinerario (2011), 35: 140-141)
Clerici en militairen, beiden geobsedeerd door de revolutie en Napoleon, bepaalden nog héél lang het denken in de 19de eeuw. Met een rijke en bijzonder veelzijdige bundel essays hebben we nu dankzij uitgeverij Brill een duidelijk zicht op de invloed van Bonaparte op het Amerikaanse continent.
