Napoleon's Legacy by David Laven
The Restoration has been regarded by historians as a period in which European governments returned to the reactionary policies which prevailed before the upheavals of 1789. This text challenges this interpretation and argues that surprising loyalty to Napoleonic policies was sometimes shown.
'Historians have tended to see the restoration as a period of uninhibited reaction or as a mere interlude between two periods of revolutionThe essays in this volume make a substantial contribution to the development of a more balanced judgement. Almost without exception they are of a very high standard and will prove invaluable for teachers of European history.'History'Napoleon's Legacy is surely destined to become essential reading for all students of early to mid-nineteenth century Europe.'Modern Italy'(Napoleon's Legacy is) the single most important statement in English on the most recent revisionist research into the impact of French rule ... This valuable collection mounts a powerful new challenge to much received opinion.'English Historical Review
