The Genesis of Napoleonic Propaganda, 1796 to 1799

By Wayne Hanley

Book Overview

Wayne Hanley's The Genesis of Napoleonic Propaganda, 1796 - 1799 makes clever use of images as well as text to show the artful self-crafting on the part of a young provincial on the make. Using a term actually invented at or near the Revolution, the book makes propaganda into a key element in the rise of Napoleon. With a solid interfacing of cultural and political history, Hanley's novel approach meshes with recent works on the Revolution by Lynn Hunt, Carla Hesse, and others.
