Summary: "The Comedy & Tragedy of the Second Empire" by Edward Legge is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the intricacies of Parisian society during the reign of Napoleon III, exploring the vibrant culture, political dynamics, and influential figures of the time. The narrative likely centers around the Emperor and Empress Eugénie, uncovering the complexities of their relationship and the society in which they lived. At the start of the book, the author introduces the setting in 1840 with a young Eugénie de Montijo observing a disheveled Louis Napoleon being taken away by gendarmes. This scene foreshadows the intertwined destinies of the Empress and the future Emperor of France, depicting her upbringing in a family that wished for a significant connection to power. The narrative seamlessly transitions into the formation of their identities, illustrating their early lives, aspirations, and societal influences. The early chapters highlight Eugénie's charm and boldness, alongside Napoleon's struggles and fantasies of empire, laying the groundwork for an exploration of both personal and political narratives during the tumultuous times of the Second Empire.
