Extrait: ...of censure for the simulation of flattery and suspect a bookseller's puff when an author is not broken on the wheel." Then, after admitting the insular bias of English literary judgments based on moral considerations, he points out that in the third chapter of her book Madame de Stael professes to treat of the principal epochs of German literature, but without displaying much historical or antiquarian research. Taylor, well fitted by his own studies to discuss the subject, gives a clear outline of Madame de StaeTs account of the history of German literature. He disagrees with Crabb Robinson as to the justness of her opinion of Goethe, for he says that "Madame de de StaeTs seventh chapter, concerning Goethe sic is excellent; it displays the observation which knows how to paint and to judge; and it forms in our opinion the most consummate piece of portraiture that she has executed." The delineation of Schiller he finds more vague, more general, less precise, and less individual than that of Goethe. In this third section, too, as in the first of his review of the Germany, Taylor performed the important function of pointing out to English readers Madame de StaeTs distinction between Classicism and Romanticism. "The eleventh (chapter) divides European poetry into two schools, the classical, and the romantic. The first originates in the imitation of the ancients, the second, in the progressive amelioration of our native efforts to celebrate our own religion and our own exploits."11 " Monthly Review, ser. 2, vol. 72, (December, 1813), pp. 421-426.

Book excerpt: How does exile beget writing, and writing exile? What kind of writing can both be fuelled by absence and prolong it? Exile, which was meant to imprison her, paradoxically gave Madame de Staël a freedom that enabled her to be as active a dissident as any woman in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries was capable of being. Repeatedly banished for her nonconformism, she felt she had been made to suffer twice over, first for political daring and then for daring, as a woman, to be political (a particularly grave offence in the eyes of the misogynist Napoleon). Yet her outspokenness - in novels, comparative literary studies, and works of political and social theory - made her seem as much a threat outside her beloved France as within it, while her friendship with statesmen, soldiers, and literary figures such as Byron, Fanny Burney, Goethe, and Schiller simply added to her dangerous celebrity. She preached the virtues of liberalism and freedom wherever she went, turning the experiences of her enforced absence into an arsenal to use against all who tried to suppress her. Even Napoleon, perhaps her greatest foe, conceded, from his own exile on St Helena that she would last. Her unremitting activity as a speaker and writer made her into precisely the sort of activist no woman at that time was permitted to be; yet she paradoxically remained a reluctant feminist, seeming even to connive at the inferior status society granted her sex at the same time as vociferously challenging it, and remaining torn by the conflicting demands of public and private life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An accomplished biographer of figures ranging from Talleyrand to Cardinal Newman, Charlotte Blennerhassett (1843–1917) originally published this three-volume study in German. Reissued here is the English translation of 1889 by J. E. Gordon Cumming. Madame de Staël (1766–1817), an intellectual in Paris at the turn of the nineteenth century, was ranked by Auguste Comte as among the 'great men' of the era. A novelist, salonnière, literary and social critic, and follower of Rousseau, she became keenly involved in the opposition to Louis XVI. Volume 1 addresses Madame de Staël's life up to the Revolution, examining her ancestry, family and views on marriage, slavery and politics. Volume 2 addresses her life after the Revolution, examining the ascent of Napoleon, her exile to Switzerland and her celebrated visit to England. Volume 3 includes an account of her friendships with Goethe and Schiller, her travels in Italy and her return to Paris after Napoleon's defeat.
