  • This volume offers an innovative historiographical perspective on the Napoleonic era by shifting the focus from its most prominent figures to the lives of lesser-studied actors. Building on the view of the Grand Empire as a collective enterprise, it argues that its political, institutional, socioeconomic, and cultural dynamics can only be fully understood by examining the contributions of mid-level public officials, politicians, intellectuals, military officers, and merchants. Through seven case studies, the book examines the multifaceted careers of individuals active in diverse contexts, including Italians serving in both Italy and France and French officials working in Italy. Their trajectories reveal how they contributed to the consolidation of Napoleonic power and capitalized on the opportunities created by the regime. After its collapse, many of them emerged as agents of continuity in a period of profound instability, shaping European society well into the Restoration. Transcending rigid politico-institutional boundaries, the book offers a nuanced and distinctive account of the interplay between society and the individuals who both shaped and experienced this transformative era.
