description: This book invites scholars and students alike to reconsider the transition from the French Revolution to Napoleon. This period is often described in terms of social chaos, ineffectual government, and democratic disappointment. Rather than simply trying to efface this image, this collection explores the ambiguities and continuities of the period from 1794 to 1814. Such an approach offers numerous insights into the problems of a post-revolutionary order where high ideals confronted harsh realities.
