Institute on Napoleon and the French Revolution

Scope and content:

The Institute on Napoleon and the French Revolution, as part of the Department of History in the FSU College of Arts and Sciences, was formally established by the Florida Board of Regents August 1, 1990. Although the core of courses are in the history department, students are encouraged to broaden their understanding of the field with courses in literature, the arts, geography, and othe related fields depending on their areas of interest. In addition to the course of studies, the Institute organizes international meetings, holds symposia, maintains a Distinguished Speakers' Program, and is one of the founding and active members of the Consortium on Revolutionary Europe (founded in 1971), the leading scholarly organization in the field.

The Institute was established and directed by Dr. Horward, who introduced Napoleonic studies to thousands of students at FSU and other institutions of higher learning. His development of the Institute on Napoleon and the French Revolution at Florida State University has fostered research and interest on the topics related to the Age of Napoleon. Most of the Napoleonic specialists now teaching in American institutionsof higher learning have been trained by Dr. Horward. They have written scores of books and literally hundreds of articles in scholarly journals.
