Madame de Staël

Corinne, or Italy (1807) is both the story of a love affair between Oswald, Lord Nelvil and a beautiful poetess, and a homage to the landscape, literature and art of Italy. Staël weaves discreet French Revolutionary political allusion and allegory into her romance, whose publication saw her order of exile renewed by Napoleon. This new translation is complemented by notes and an introduction which serve to set an extraordinary work of European Romanticism in its historical and political contexts.

or Italy

Corinne

Madame de Staël (Anne-Louise-Germaine)

Un roman cosmopolite et européen qui évoque la France, l'Angleterre et l'Italie à l'aube du romantisme dans la diversité de leurs mœurs et de leurs cultures. L'histoire d'une femme, la poétesse Corinne, qui inaugure le débat sur la condition féminine, sur le droit de la femme à vivre en être indépendant et à exister en tant qu'écrivain. Corinne, c'est Mme de Staël elle-même, " la femme la plus extraordinaire qu'on vit jamais " selon Stendhal, " un être à part, un être supérieur tel qu'il s'en rencontre peut-être un par siècle ", disait Benjamin Constant. Napoléon lui-même, qui voyait en Mme de Staël une dangereuse messagère de liberté, déclara un jour : " Il faut reconnaître après tout que c'est une femme d'un très grand talent ; elle restera. "

Corinne ou l'Italie

Las Reflexiones sobre el proceso de la Reina, escritas por Germaine Necker, más conocida como Madame de Staël, más que una proclama política es un alegato contra el uso de la calumnia como elemento para movilizar a la opinión pública así como una denuncia de la misoginia que se escondía tras las acusaciones vertidas contra la soberana. De este modo, a pesar de no identificarse con los realistas ni de pertenecer a su círculo, Madame de Staël se situará del lado de la reina.

Reflexiones sobre el proceso de la Reina

Corinne Or Italy

Anne Louise Germaine de Stael-Holstein (1766-1817), commonly known as Madame de Stael, was a Swiss author. Her most famous work is "Corinne," whose main protagonist was inspired by the Italian poet Diodata Saluzzo Roero.

`Look at her, she is the image of our beautiful Italy.' Corinne, or Italy (1807) is both the story of a love affair between Oswald, Lord Nelvil and a beautiful poetess, and an homage to the landscape, literature and art of Italy. On arriving in Italy, Oswald immediately falls under Corinne's magical spell as she is crowned a national genius at the Captitol. Yet, on returning to England, he succumbs to convention and honours his late father's wish by marrying the dutiful English girl, Lucile, despite having learned that Corinne is Lucile's Italian half-sister. Corinne dies of a broken heart and Lord Nelvil is left with a seared conscience. Staël weaves discreet French Revolutionary political allusion and allegory into her romance, and its publication saw her order of exile renewed by Napoleon. Indeed, the novel stands as the birth of modern nationalism, and introduces to French usage the word `nationalitié'. It is also one of the first works to put a woman's creativity centre stage. Sylvia Raphael's new translation preserves the natural character of the French original and the edition is complemented by notes and and introduction which serve to set an extraordinary work of European Romanticism in its historical and political contexts.

This is the powerful memoir of Germaine de Staël, the most politically outspoken woman of the Napoleonic era. During the French Revolution, Mme. de Staël's salon was visited by the most brilliant politicians and intellectuals. Staël herself helped to introduce Napoleon to French society, yet like other liberals, she soon opposed the politic of Buonaparte. He, in turn, banished her from Paris in 1803. During the Russian campaign, Staël was forced to flee through Austria, Poland, Russian, and Britain. Her memoirs of these times are full of dangerous situations and penetrating insights into the Napoleonic society. As a well-read intellectual and a friend of Talleyrand, Schiller, and Goethe, she draws the reader with the depth of thought and the delicacy of literary style.

De l'influence des passions sur le bonheur des individus et des nations

Corinne ou L'Italie

Œuvres de Madame la baronne de Staël-Holstein

Madame Staël é uma das figuras mais fascinantes da França dos fins do século XVIII. Nascida Annie-Luise-Germaine Necker (1766-1817), a parisiense se destacava nos salões iluministas com sua inteligência vívida e posições fortes em questões de literatura e política, o que a colocaria, mais tarde, em rota de confronto com Napoleão. De sua influente produção, que marcaria o pensamento europeu no século XIX, Da Alemanha, é o livro mais importante. Pois, opondo as culturas latina e germânica, acaba por articular a concepção moderna de literatura. Ou seja, ao descrever a Alemanha e seus costumes, literatura, filosofia e religião, articula a concepção moderna de literatura.
