The Monday Talk
This morning’s talk focuses on Napoleon Bonaparte and how we view him. In ‘Napoleon Bonaparte – hero or villain?’ Conor Magill intends to focus not on Napoleon’s military or diplomatic achievements but on his character: what contemporaries thought of him and how the ideas of the French Revolution influenced him in making changes to France, many of which are still in place 200 years later.
