Published in 1999. Lord Byron and Madam de Stael made a great
impression on Europe in the throes of the Napoleonic Wars, through
their personalities, the versions of themselves which they
projected through their works, and their literary engagement with
contemporary life. However, the strong links between them have
never before been explored in detail. This pioneering study looks
at their personal relations, from their verbal sparring in Regency
society, through the friendship which developed in Switzerland
after Byron left England in 1816, to Byron's tributes to Mme de
Stael after her death. It concentrates on their literary links,
both direct responses to each other's works, and the copious
evidence of shared concerns. The study deals with their treatment
of gender, their grappling with the possibilities for heroic
endeavour, their engagement with the social and political
situations of Britain, France and Italy, and their conceptions of
the role of the writer. Although Byron will need no introduction,
Mme de Stael's standing as a French romantic writer of the first
rank is made plain by the strong impact of her writings on the
English Poet.
