Angelot – A Tale of the First Empire (Annotated)
Enriched Edition. Historical Novel of the Napoleonic EraBy Eleanor C. Price
Length12h 1m
About this audiobook
Set amid the tensions of Napoleonic France, Angelot – A Tale of the First Empire is a historical romance that turns imperial politics into intimate moral drama. Its provincial setting, family loyalties, clandestine sympathies, and youthful affections evoke a society divided between Bonapartist authority and older royalist memories. Price writes in the nineteenth-century historical mode: lucid, decorous, attentive to manners and landscape, yet animated by suspense, sentiment, and the pressures of public history upon private conscience. Eleanor C. Price was an English novelist and historian whose fiction often reflected a cultivated interest in France, genealogy, religion, and the social textures of earlier centuries. Writing from the late Victorian world, she approached the First Empire with both distance and imaginative sympathy, less concerned with battlefield spectacle than with how ideology, kinship, and duty shape ordinary lives. Her historical sensibility suggests careful reading and a moralist's curiosity about character under constraint. Readers drawn to historical fiction that privileges atmosphere, ethical conflict, and emotional nuance over mere adventure will find Angelot rewarding. It is especially suited to admirers of novels in which love and allegiance are tested by political upheaval, and to anyone interested in empire's human costs.
