Considerations on the Principal Events of the French Revolution

By Germaine de Staël-Holstein and Madame de La Fayette

Book Overview

Considerations on the Principal Events of the French Revolution was a winner in the Scholarly/Reference category at the Chicago Book Clinic's 2009 Book & Media Show.

Germaine de Sta l's voice, which Napoleon Bonaparte tried to silence by censorship and banishment, is a unique and important contribution to revolutionary historiography.

Considerations on the Principal Events of the French Revolution, considered Madame de Sta l's magnum opus, became a classic of liberal thinking, making a deeply original contribution to an ongoing political and historical debate in early nineteenth-century France and Europe.

Germaine de Sta l (1766-1817) rose to fame as a novelist, critic, political thinker, sociologist of literature, and autobiographer.
