How was Napoleon portrayed by English writers and poets of the time? Which cultural and political influences are reflected in the manner in which Bonaparte was transformed from a blood-thirsty monster to a popular icon? Can we discover a more human side to his struggle for power? In ‘Ode to Napoleon Bonaparte’, Lord Byron creates a complex portrait of the man Napoleon caught in a web of conflicting interests – both conqueror and captive. We’ll spotlight Napoleon – a subject of extreme controversy in Britain in the 19th century – and illuminate some far-reaching implications of the man, emperor and romantic hero.

Native speaker Karla Schlaepfer-Karst has the interest and curiosity of the learner in mind and offers a wide range of stimulating material for use in the classroom and in the exhibition.
