AB - Using a technique that had been popular among polemicists since 1800, Alexandre de Beaurepaire de Louvagny, a nobleman from an emigrant family who sided with Louis XVIII from 1814 onwards, employed phrases borrowed from Tacitus to describe the ‘Hundred Days’, the period between Napoleon's return to Paris on 20 March 1815, after his exile on Elba, and the second restoration of King Louis XVIII to the throne of France on 8 July 1815. Napoleon is a second Nero, while Louis XVIII is likened to Titus. As for the duc d'Angoulême and his wife, they are personified, in the first edition of the pamphlet, as the courageous couple of Sabinus and Eponine; in the second edition, they are assimilated to Germanicus and Agrippina the Elder. In order to maintain the internal coherence of his narrative and to adapt the events of the first century AD to 1815, Beaurepaire used various techniques which led him to intervene either in the Latin text (cuts, new sequences) or in the French translation (additions, omissions, displacements, alterations of meaning, modifications of statements to fit the situation).
