This fourth volume of the ACorrespondance generaleA contains 368
letters written during the period of the Consulat when, as a member
of the Tribunat until January 1802, Constant acquired a reputation
as a brilliant orator and outspoken opponent of Bonaparte. It was
also a period when he produced a number of manuscripts on politics
and religion on which he would base works published between 1814
and 1830. The correspondence also contains letters of compelling
human interest to and from Julie Talma and an extraordinary
epistolary exchange with Anna Lindsay, with whom Constant fell in
love in 1800.
This tenth volume of the Correspondance generale, which covers the
years 1816 1818, is a valuable document on the intellectual life of
the period as well as on the relations of Benjamin Constant with
his friends and family, on his literary activities (particularly,
during a sojourn in England, the publication of Adolphe) and on his
career as publicist and champion of political and civil liberties,
after his return to Paris in September 1816."
