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.
Volume 9 of the Correspondance générale comprises 416 letters that Constant wrote or received between 1813 and 1815. They clearly illustrate his eagerness to start a career in French politics. While initially, he was stuck in the isolation and monotony of married life in Göttingen, his personal situation was further complicated in 1814/15 by his unrequited, passionate love for Juliette Récamier.
Cecil P. Courtney, Cambridge; Adrienne Tooke, Oxford; Dennis Wood, Birmingham.
