to the third coalition (I904); Talleyrand, Lettres a Napoleon, I8oo-r8og,
ed. Bertrand (Paris I889); E. Kraehe, Napoleon's German Policy: the
Contest with Napoleon (Princeton I963); Edouard Guillon, Napoleon et Ia
Suisse (Paris I9Io); M. Dunan, 'Napoleon et les cantons suisses', Revue
des Etudes napoleoniennes (I9I2) pp.I9o-2I8; P.K. Grimsted, The Foreign
Ministers of Alexander I: Political Attitudes and the Conduct of Russian
Foreign Policy, I8oi-I8zs (LA I969); N. Saul, Russia and the Mediterra
nean, IJ9J-I80J (Chicago I970). Since Russia now enters the story in a
big way, the two dominant Russian personalities at Austerlitz need to be
studied. For Kutusov the best guide is Serge Nabokov, Koutousov, le
vainqueur de Napoleon (Paris I990). On Alexander I there is a wealth of
material: J. Hartley, Alexander I (I994); M. Dziewanowski, Alexander I:
Russia's Mysterious Tsar (NY I990); A. McConnel, Alexander I;
Paternalistic Reformer (Arlington Heights, Ill. I970); Alan Palmer,
Alexander I, Tsar of War and Peace (I974).
Austerlitz has also understandably attracted a lot of attention. The
starting place is the six-volume La Campagne de I 8os en Allemagne (Paris
I902) by Jean Colin & Alombert. How the Grande Armee got there is
explained in R.G. Burton, From Boulogne to Austerlitz (I9I2); Albert
Chatelle, Napoleon et Ia Legion d'honneur au camp de Boulogne (Paris
I956); Henri Bonnal, De Rossbach a Ulm (Paris I903), Colin and
Alombert, Le corps d'armee aux ordres du marechal Mortier (Paris I897).
There is a good interlinking account of the three great engagements of
I8os in Jean Thiry, Ulm, Trafalgar, Austerlitz (I962) Napoleon himself is
put under the microscope in Henri Lachouque, Napoleon a Austerlitz
(Paris I96o), Claude Manceron, Austerlitz (Paris I96o) and Jean Vachee,
Napoleon en campagne (Paris I9I3)· Christopher Duffy's Austerlitz I8os
(I977) is particularly lucid and H.T. Parker, Three Napoleonic Battles
(Durham, N.C. I983) puts the battle in a wider context. There are some
important journal articles: J. Fufestre, 'La Manoeuvre de Boulogne',
Revue des Etudes napoleoniennes (I922) pp.8I-I09; P.A. Wimet, 'Napoleon
a-t-il dicte a Daru le plan de la campagne de I8os?', Revue de l'Institut
Napoleon (I97I) pp.I73-82.
Next, consequences of Austerlitz. There is a very fu ll bibliography on
Naples. Apart from the general survey by A. Fugier, Napoleon et l'Italie
(Paris I947) and the many biographies of Joseph there are the following:
E. Gachot, La Troisieme Campagne d 'Ita lie I 8os-I 8o6 (Paris I 9 I I); C.
Auriol, La France, l'Angleterre et Naples de I80J a I8o6 (Paris I9II); J.
Rambaud, Naples sous Joseph Bonaparte (Paris I9II); R. Johnston, The
Napoleonic Empire in Southern Italy and the Rise of the Secret Societies
(I904). The impact on Sicily is explored in Dennis Mack Smith, Modern
marcin
(Marcin)
