Reviews

"Likely to become a cornerstone in Brazilian historiography ... Citizen Emperor is an eloquently written, evenhanded and full-bodied treatment of Pedro II, the man, the monarch, and his times... Comprehensively researched and documented, this work is liberally endowed with revealing quotations from family, friends, observers, and the emperor himself." - Luso-Brazilian Review "This well-written major work is thoroughly researched, and it covers Dom Pedro's life in great detail. He will not need another biographer." - History: Review of New Books "Barman, in this scholarly biography, meticulously researched and thoughtfully analyzed, rescues Pedro II from many of the myths that have gathered around his rule... He has sought to restore the Emperor to his due place in Brazil's history and to document his policy toward the great national issues." - Times Literary Supplement "Barman's lucid, detailed, and admiring biography ... fills an important gap in the literature of Brazil's imperial history." - Choice "This is the best biography in English of the mand who reigned over Brazil from 1840 to 1889... This beautifully-written biography, with a solid empirical basis, is indespensable for the understanding of Pedro II and the micro-politics of his reign." - The Americas
