Post-revolutionary Europe

MARTYN LYONS is Professor of History at the University of New South Wales, Australia. He has published widely on French revolutionary and Napoleonic history. His previous publications include Napoleon Bonaparte and the Legacy of the French Revolution (1994) and Readers and Society in Nineteenth-Century France (2001), both also published by Palgrave Macmillan.

'[Lyons writes] not a history of restoration and reaction, but a history of memory and forgetfulness of the revolutionary and Napoleonic past; not a history of national awakening, but rather a history of national construction ![Lyons has] a thoroughly profound foreign-language ability! the all-embracing structure of his book already reveals the effort made to attain new perspectives. [The book] is to be recommended as a valuable synthesis, combining a solid account with the latest research trends'. - Translated from J.Schmidt-Funke, H-Soz-u-Kult
