'For forty years I have defended the same principle: freedom in
everything, in religion, in philosophy, in literature, in industry,
in politics - and by freedom I mean the triumph of the individual.'
Constant thus summarized his beliefs at the end of his life. A
political theorist and a passionate defender of individual liberty,
he was also the author of one of the greatest French novels of
psychological insight, Adolphe. In a major new biography Dennis
Wood traces the development of Constant as a writer centrally
preoccupied with the problematics of freedom, not only in the
fields of politics and religious belief but also in his own
troubled relationship with several women.
