| 520 | _a"The Second Funeral of Napoleon" by William Makepeace Thackeray is a historical narrative composed during the mid-19th century. This work captures the sentiments and events surrounding the disinterment of Napoleon Bonaparte’s remains from St. Helena and their journey back to France, emphasizing the pomp and pageantry associated with his second funeral. The narrative unfolds with a mix of personal observations, reflections on history, and commentary on the role of individuals in shaping historical events. At the start of this engaging narrative, Thackeray adopts an epistolary style, addressing a character named Amelia while philosophizing about the nature of history and the various interpretations of historical figures. He contrasts the grandiose portrayal of great men in history with the mundane realities of their lives and actions. The opening portion recounts the initial arrangements and decisions surrounding Napoleon’s disinterment at St. Helena, the preparations for transporting his remains back to France, and the significant figures and debates that shaped the ceremony. Through a combination of humor, social critique, and historical detail, Thackeray provides readers with a vivid backdrop to Napoleon's legacy and the reverence with which the French nation regarded him, all while maintaining a candid and often irreverent tone.
