Six years after the death of Napoleon, Sir Walter Scott wrote the first, hugely successful biography of his contemporary Napoleon that rivited Britain and the continent and led him being challenged to duels by former Napoleon generals. Written before the advent of the nation state, Scott's travel narrative also provides a lost snapshot of Europe that was still a patchwork of different local cultures and customs centred on cities and regions.
