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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Madame de Stael was born into a world of political and intellectual prominence, as the daughter of Louis XVI's Minister of Finances, Jacques Necker. Later she married Sweden's ambassador to the French court and, for more than 20 years, held the limelight as philosopher, political figure and prolific writer. She was, however, more than just a mind. Despite a plain appearance, she was notoriously seductive and enjoyed whirlwind affairs with some of the leading intellectuals of her time - she was a true force of nature.

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.

Download or read book Mistress to an Age written by J. Christopher Herold and published by Grove Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: J. Christopher Herold vigorously tells the story of the fierce Madame de Stael, revealing her courageous opposition to Napoleon, her whirlwind affairs with the great intellectuals of her day, and her idealistic rebellion against all that was cynical, tyrannical, and passionless. Germaine de Stael's father was Jacques Necker, the finance minister to Louis XVI, and her mother ran an influential literary-political salon in Paris. Always precocious, at nineteen Germaine married the Swedish ambassador to France, Eric Magnus Baron de Stael-Holstein, and in 1785 took over her mother's salon with great success. Germaine and de Stael lived most of their married life apart. She had many brilliant lovers. Talleyrand was the first, Narbonne, the minister of war, another; Benjamin Constant was her most significant and long-lasting one. She published several political and literary essays, including "A Treatise on the Influence of the Passions upon the Happiness of Individuals and of Nations," which became one of the most important documents of European Romanticism. Her bold philosophical ideas, particularly those in "On Literature," caused feverish commotion in France and were quickly noticed by Napoleon, who saw her salon as a rallying point for the opposition. He eventually exiled her from France. This winner of the 1959 National Book Award is "excellent ... detailed, full of color, movement, great names, and lively incident" -- The New York Times "Mr. Herold's full-bodied biography is clear-eyed, intelligent, and written with abundant wit and zest." -- The Atlantic Monthly
