Napoleon Decree of Moscow Shapes Comedie Francaise Legacy
The centenary of Napoleon's Decree of Moscow restructured the Comedie Francaise, preserving Imperial control through an Administrator General and a strict charter. The theatre faced republic era challenges, including near bankruptcy and the later abolition and revival of the committee of lectures. King Joseph of Spain donated Moliere volumes from Napoleon’s St Helena library to the Comedie Francaise in a glass case memorial.
