Book Description:
Nearly two hundred thousand scholarly books and monographs have been
published about the French Revolution and the
Napoleonic era during the last two hundred years. The approaching bicentennial
of these events will undoubtedly result in an
extensive reexamination of this period. This work, designed as a companion
volume to Owen Connelly's Historical Dictionary
of Napoleonic France, 1799-1815 (Greenwood Press, 1985), expands Connelly's
work to include most of the generally
available books published since 1945. The book is designed to direct
researchers to the materials which are best suited for
their inquiry and which might otherwise be overlooked. In this way
it serves as a useful research tool, providing a summary of
all that is currently available.
From the Publisher:
Meyer, a historian of US regional and European history, has compiled
a bibliography on the Napoleonic era, a topic closely
related to his master's thesis and dissertation.... The 1,754 monographic
entries, mainly in English and Western European
languages with some Slavic language entries, are accessible by braod
categories (e.g., research aids, printed primary sources,
France and the world, Napoleon's family) and by an author/editor index.
The books included range from scholarly to popular.
Although the title of this book indicates annotations, they are not
critical or scholarly but merely indicate content and physical
description of the item. Meyer provides us with a valuable current
source for history in the early 19th century. Recommended
for college, university, and large public libraries.
