About this book

In the early 19th century, as Europe grappled with the aftermath of the Enlightenment, Madame de Staël's "Corinne; ou, l'Italie" emerged as a profound exploration of artistic identity and cultural heritage. This novel centers on Corinne, a gifted poet and improvisatrice, whose journey through Italy reveals the tension between personal ambition and societal expectations. With vivid depictions of Italian landscapes and a deep dive into the complexities of female creativity, this work challenges traditional gender roles and celebrates the unyielding spirit of artistic expression. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, this carefully revised edition, preceded by insightful observations from Mme Necker de Saussure and M. Sainte-Beuve, invites readers to engage with the nuances of cultural dialogue and the power of voice in shaping identity.
