Table of ContentsReviews"Elizabeth Duquette has written an ambitious, monumental book that proposes a fundamental reframing of the nineteenth century as the long age of Napoleon. Dislodging ""democracy"" as the nation's mythic political basis and putting ""tyranny"" in its place, Duquette amasses a substantial archive of America's obsession with Napoleon Bonaparte to develop a thoroughly convincing account of the multiple tyrannies that stand at the foundation of US political culture-from the actual oppression of slavery to those purported incursions on the liberty of aggrieved elites that form the ""tyrannical style"" of nineteenth-century political discourse. * Jennifer Greiman, Wake Forest University *" Author InformationElizabeth Duquette is a Visiting Scholar at Reed College and Professor Emerita of English at Gettysburg College. She is the author of Loyal Subjects: Bonds of Nation, Race, and Allegiance in Nineteenth-Century America (2010).
