Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 37 Among a variety of interesting articles contained in this volume, we find an Essay upon the Life and Writings of Madame de Stael Holstein. Although so much has already been said and written concerning the works of this celebrated person, her character is so remarkably and entirely apart from the general disposition of the period, that every thing which tends to throw light upon it, is deserving of attention. M. Constant, from his intimate relations with Madame de Stael, as well as from his own literary talents, had at once abundant opportunities and the necessary qualifications for judging of her both in her private character as a woman, and in her public capacity as an author. His treatise is indeed little more than the eulogium of her life, - and his remarks upon her works are chiefly made with the view of pointing out their beauties, and of confuting the criticisms which had been passed upon them. ´It is not a biography,´ he says, ´that I write; I do not collect anecdotes; I allow my thoughts to wander, as chance may direct them, over recollections which will remain for ever engraved in the minds of all those, who have had the happiness of knowing and of understanding Madame de Stael.´ About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
