Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Madame De Staël and the Spread of German Literature Ever since the French Revolution the name of Anne Germaine Necker, Baronne de Stael-Holstein (1766-1817), has been known to students of history and literature. From time to time sketches of her life and writings have appeared in magazines, memoirs, and books, but no really adequate and extended treatment of the genius of this great Frenchwoman was offered to the public until Dr. Abel Stevens, an American scholar, published his Madame de Staël; a Study of her Life and Times, the First Revolution and the First Empire, 2 vols., New York, 1881. His appreciative narrative was followed soon after by Lady Blennerhassett´s extensive and critical work in three volumes, Frau von Staël, ihre Freunde und ihre Bedeutung in Politik and Literatur, Berlin, 1887-89. This monumental work, so suggestive in its material, was soon translated into French and English, and widely read and reviewed. It opened up a new field of discussion to scholars. A Madame de Stael revival was inaugurated. Since 1890 have appeared various critical works dealing with one phase or another of her life and writings. All testify to the genius of this extraordinary woman and especially to the influence of her De l´Allemagne. The year 1913 marked the one-hundredth anniversary of the appearance of this book. But though a century has passed, the work has a peculiar significance to-day, exhibiting, as it does, the dominant traits of German genius and culture.
