Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Madame De Stael and Her Lovers The Life of Madame de Staël has been written a good many times. The earlier biographies - up to and including the ambitious work by Dr. Stevens - are inadequate, owing to the scantiness of the material then available. They give a somewhat uncritical relation of Madame de Stael´s public life, but leave her personal life wrapped in mystery, without even suggesting that there are secrets unrevealed. Lady Blennerhassett´s book, written in German, and translated into both French and English, is much better from every point of view. At the time of its appearance Benjamin Constant´s Journal Intime had just been published in the Revue Internationale. That extraordinary document threw quite a fresh light upon Madame de Stael´s character. It showed her as the exigent mistress, clinging to a reluctant lover, and refusing to let him go. Lady Blennerhassett quoted a good deal from it. Hers is consequently the first Life in which Madame de Stael appears as a woman with a passionate heart and not as a philosopher in petticoats.
