Manoeuvre de Jena, 18o6 (Paris 1904); Henri Lachouque, lena (Paris
1964); Alfred Guy, Le Bataillon de Neuchdtel au service de Napoleon
(Neuchatel 1964). For the triumphant aftermath there is G. Lacour­
Gayet, 'Napoleon a Berlin', Revue des Etudes napoleoniennes (1922)
pp.2<)-48.
The 1806-7 campaign against the Russians has also attracted a plethora
of studies: Jean Tranie and Jean-Carlos Carmigniani, Napoleon et Ia
Russie. Les annees victorieuses 18os-1807 (Paris 1984); F.L. Petre,
Napoleon's Campaign in Poland, 1806-7 (1901); Pierre Foucart, La
Campagne de Pologne, 1806-1807, 2 vols (Paris 1882). For a view of the
two great battles see Pierre Grenier, Les Manoeuvres d'Eylau et de
Friedland (Paris 1901) and Jean Thiry, Eylau, Friedland, Tilsit (Paris
1965). For the military opposition see Philip Haythornthwaite, The
Russian Army of the Napoleonic Wars (1988) and J. Keep, Soldiers of the
Tsar: Army and Society in Russia, 1462-1874 (Oxford 1985). For the role
of Jerome one can consult Bernardine Melchior-Bonnet, Jerome Bona­
parte (Paris 1979).
For Napoleon at Castle Finkenstein with Marie Walewska see
Christine Sutherland, Marie Walewska: Napoleon's Great Love (1979); C.
Handelsman, Napoleon et Ia Pologne (Paris 1909) and S. Askenazy,
Napoleon et Ia Pologne (Paris 1925). On the new states consult C.
Schmidt, Le Grand Duche de Berg (Paris 1905); A. Martinet, Jerome
Bonaparte, roi de Westphalie (Paris 1952); A. Fabre, Jerome Bonaparte, roi
de Westphalie (Paris 1952); Jules Bertaut, Le Roi Jerome (Paris 1954);
Alfred Ernouf, Les Fran�ais en Prusse en 1807 et 18o8 (Paris 1875). On the
Grand Duchy of Warsaw see Andre Bonnefons, Frederic-Auguste, premier
roi de Saxe et Grand-due de Varsovie (Paris 1902) and P. Wandycz, The
Lands of Partitioned Poland, 1795-1918 (Seattle 1974).
Turkey was an important factor in Napoleon's thinking during 1806-7.
For this aspect see B. Mouravieff, L 'Alliance russo-turque au milieu des
guerres napoleoniennes (Paris 1954) and N. Saul, Russia and the Mediterra­
nean, 1797-1 807 (1970). Two particularly important studies are S. Shaw,
Between Old and New: the Ottoman Empire under Selim III, 1789-1807
(Cambridge, Mass. 1971) and W. Johnson & C. Bell, The Ottoman Empire
and the Napoleonic Wars (Leeds 1988).
The classic and fundamental study of Tilsit and its aftermath is Albert
Vandal's Napoleon I et Alexandre (Paris 1893). This should be supple­
mented with Edouard Driault, Tilsit (Paris^1917 ); S. Tatistcheff,
Alexandre I et Napoleon (Paris 1891) and L.I. Strakhovsky, Alexander I of
Russia: the Man who Defeated Napoleon (1949). Further light is shed on
Alexander's ditherings in foreign policy in W.H. Zawadzki, A Man of
