Writing the Self, Writing the Nation - Romantic Selfhood in the Works of Germaine de Stael and Claire de Duras Allan StaciePaperback
The French Revolution represents a pivotal moment within the history of personhood in France, where gender and national differences provided the foundations of society. This book considers Germaine de Sta l's and Claire de Duras's depictions of men's and women's shared and diverging lived experiences to offer an innovative transnational perspective on the usually male-focused mal du si cle. As such, these constructs feature as ideological battlegrounds in the search for identity and self-expression within the Romantic literature published between the revolutions of 1789 and 1830.
