Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832) was a prolific Scottish poet and historical novelist who was one of the most popular romantic novelists of the nineteenth century. After studying law at Edinburgh University, Scott first started writing at the age of 25. Having made his name as a poet, he wrote the phenomenally successful novel Waverley in 1814 and was made a baronet in 1820. These volumes, first published in 1827, contain Scott's detailed biography of Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821). Including a detailed review of the French Revolution, Scott focuses on Napoleon's legacy to France and his military genius, purposefully remaining non-partisan and discussing Napoleon's life and achievements without bias. The result of extensive research and correspondence with Napoleon's surviving colleagues, these volumes were extremely successful and remain valuable for the study of Napoleon's life and changing public reaction. Volume 8 covers 1813-1815, including the Battle of Waterloo.… (altro)

In bidding adieu to the subject of Napoleon we are called upon to observe that he was a man tried in the two extremities of the most exalted power and the most ineffable calamity; and if he occasionally appeared presumptuous when surrounded by the armed force of half a world, or unresonably querulous when imprisoned within the narrow confines of Saint Helena, it is scarce within the capacity of those whose steps have never led them beyond the middle path of life to estimate either the strength of the temptations to which he yielded, or the force of mind which he oppsed to those he was able to resist.
