The Empress Josephine: Citizeness Bonaparte, The Wife of the First Consul & The Court of the Empress Josephine in One Volume

Imbert de Saint-Amand’s trilogy of biographies of the Empress Josephine, published in Paris from 1883−84 and translated into English by Thomas Sergeant Perry (1845−1928), is here presented in omnibus edition for the first time. Saint-Amand takes Josephine’s story from the time of her marriage to a young general named Napoleon Bonaparte in 1796 through to 1807, when she can no longer be certain that she holds first place in her husband’s heart, and the threat of her impending divorce hangs over her like a cloud.The cover image is ‘Portrait of Empress Josephine’, 1805, by Robert Lefevre, from Wikimedia Commons.
