Description
This critical edition presents the work of Benjamin Constant, author, religious historian and political thinker, in all its uniqueness and diversity. It includes the author's voluminous correspondence. The Collected Works comprise two series, the first containing his works, the second his correspondence. Both series are arranged chronologically. Each volume includes chronological surveys, surveys, a bibliography and an index.
This volume contains 305 letters covering three years of Constant's life in which he finally experienced a happy marriage. However, these years were overshadowed by Germaine de Staël's misfortune, by his enormous gambling losses and also by a dispute with his father which was to last until his father's death. Constant left France and traveled to Switzerland and Germany, but he could not find the happiness he had hoped for not even in the seclusion of German libraries.
