Author, political activist and salonniere, Germaine de Stael has
become the focal point of groundbreaking research in women's
studies, in performing arts, and in language/translation theory. In
this multidisciplinary volume, a team of scholars concentrates on
the vast range of her political and cultural engagements, both
during and after the French Revolution. In this collection of
studies, which examine issues as diverse as citizenship,
immigration, abolition or constitutional liberalism, Stael's stance
as a champion of moderation against the perils of extremism and
polarization comes clearly to the fore. Contributors shed new light
on the Groupe de Coppet, the circle of which she was the heart, and
on the cosmopolitan networks she created within and beyond Europe.
Other articles underline and reassess Stael's formative influence
on national cultures distant in space and time, redefining her
Italianism in Corinne ou l'Italie, analysing the British reception
of her Considerations and exploring the impact of De l'Allemagne on
American intellectual life. Germaine de Stael: forging a politics
of mediation highlights Stael's pioneering place in the history of
global interaction. She emerges as a truly modern thinker as well
as an agent of multicultural exchange.
