Abstract

"Bringing together a diverse group of historians, art historians, and museum professionals, and spanning two centuries and several continents, this volume reveals the global dimensions of the trade in Napoleonic collectibles, art, and relics over time. Representing new avenues of research and scholarship, it investigates the material objects and cultural forms that Napoleon inspired across four overarching themes: 'Collections', 'Relics', 'Images', and 'Invention'. Taking a broad, multi-disciplinary approach, including perspectives from art history, film studies, cultural history, and museum curation, it provides a deep critical insight into the cult of personality surrounding Napoleon and its effect on our understanding of celebrity culture today and in the future"--
