Two centuries of sexism have hidden Staël's place in international
history. Straddling the divides of the French Revolution,
Napoleonic Europe, emergent nationalism, and European Romanticism,
and playing pivotal roles in those movements, she was also a friend
of Byron, Jefferson, and Tsar Alexander. Extensive archival
research, and a complete contextual overview of Staël's writings,
here restore Staël's canonical status as political philosopher,
historian, European Romantic theorist, and Revolutionary. While the
term stateswoman is not commonly used, it describes Staël aptly,
acting as she necessarily did through men around her. The brilliant
game of masks and proxies imposed on her by patriarchy is detailed
here, alongside her unending fight for the oppressed, from the
nations of Napoleon's subjugated Europe to the victims of the
Atlantic slave trade. This title is part of the Flip it Open
Programme and may also be available Open Access. Check our website
