| Summary | "Empress Josephine: An Historical Sketch of the Days of Napoleon" by L. Mühlbach is a historical account likely written in the late 19th century. This narrative focuses on the life of Josephine Beauharnais, the first wife of Napoleon Bonaparte, illustrating her unique position in a tumultuous period marked by war and revolution in France. The text emphasizes Josephine's beauty, grace, and tragic loyalty, offering insights into her character and the complex dynamics of her relationship with Napoleon as they navigate the trials of their time. The opening of the work introduces the reader to Josephine, highlighting her charm and the admiration she garnered alongside her husband's military conquests. It conveys a sense of her multifaceted identity as not only the Empress of France but as a deeply human figure imbued with tenderness and loyalty, contrasting sharply with Napoleon's harsh public persona. The narrative begins with Josephine's birth and early life in Martinique and sets the stage for her eventual rise to prominence. The author also hints at the challenges Josephine faced as a woman who loved fiercely and suffered deeply, suggesting that her story is one of both personal and historical significance.
