Napoleon was, after his defeat at Leipzig, granted the island of Elba to rule. He soon found this unsatisfactory, and, early in 1815, left for the south of France, and marched on Paris to some acclamation. He was, all too quickly, defeated at Waterloo. Observing all this was Byrons friend J.C. Hobhouse, an ardent Bonapartist. Byron, who posed as one, never answered his letters from the thick of things in Paris. This book is structured in four layers, and begins with an essay about Byron and Napoleon, which is then followed by Byrons poems about Napoleon and Hobhouses diary. Hobhouses letters conclude the volume. Most of Hobhouses diary has never been published. The book is published, aptly, on the bicentenary of The Hundred Days.
