Published in 1966 by Armand Colin in the Revue d'histoire littéraire de la France, this special issue is devoted to Madame de Staël and Benjamin Constant, two of the most influential figures of European Romanticism and liberal thought.
Through essays, documents, reviews and bibliographies, the volume explores the intellectual, literary and personal relationships linking these two remarkable writers and thinkers. It also examines their lasting influence on literature, politics and European culture.
Far more than a biographical study, the issue provides a valuable introduction to the ideas, debates and literary legacy of one of the most fascinating intellectual partnerships of the nineteenth century.
