Yet she was also a prominent figure in politics during the French Revolution. Biancamaria Fontana sheds new light on this often overlooked aspect of Staël's life and work, bringing vividly to life her unique experience as a political actor in a world where women had no place. The banker's daughter who became one of Europe's best-connected intellectuals, Staël was an exceptionally talented woman who achieved a degree of public influence to which not even her wealth and privilege would normally have entitled her. During the Revolution, when the lives of so many around her were destroyed, she succeeded in carving out a unique path for herself and making her views heard, first by the powerful men around her, later by the European public at large. Fontana provides the first in-depth look at her substantial output of writings on the theory and practice of the exercise of power, setting in sharp relief the dimension of Staël's life that she cared most about--politics. She was fascinated by the nature of public opinion, and believed that viable political regimes were founded on public trust and popular consensus. Fontana shows how Staël's ideas were shaped by the remarkable times in which she lived, and argues that it is only through a consideration of her political insights that we can fully understand Staël's legacy and its enduring relevance for us today"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000757357 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000757357 60010 $$aStaël,$$cMadame de$$q(Anne-Louise-Germaine),$$d1766-1817. 000757357 60010 $$aStaël,$$cMadame de$$q(Anne-Louise-Germaine),$$d1766-1817$$xPolitical and social views. 000757357 650_0 $$aWomen intellectuals$$zFrance$$vBiography. 000757357 650_0 $$aIntellectuals$$zFrance$$vBiography. 000757357 650_0 $$aWomen political scientists$$zFrance$$vBiography. 000757357 650_0 $$aWomen authors, French$$y18th century$$vBiography. 000757357 650_0 $$aAuthors, French$$y18th century$$vBiography. 000757357 651_0 $$aFrance$$xHistory$$yRevolution, 1789-1799. 000757357 651_0 $$aFrance$$xPolitics and government$$y1789-1815. 000757357 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aFontana, Biancamaria.$$tGermaine de Staël.$$dPrinceton, New Jersery : Princeton University Press, [2016]$$z9780691169040$$w(DLC) 2015028539$$w(OCoLC)929985204 000757357 852__ $$bacq 000757357 85280 $$bebk$$hEbrary 000757357 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=4336788$$zOnline Access 000757357 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:757357$$pGLOBAL_SET 000757357 980__ $$aEBOOK 000757357 980__ $$aBIB 000757357 982__ $$aEbook 000757357 983__ $$aOnline
