内容説明
"Corrine," or "Italy," is both the story of a love affair between Oswald, Lord Nelvil, and a beautiful poetess, and an homage to the landscape, literature and art of Italy. Stael, the subject of recent feminist rediscovery, weaves discreet political allusion into her romance, and upon its publication Napoleon renewed her order of exile. Sylvia Raphel's new translation preserves the natural character of the French original, while the notes and introduction place this extraordinary work of European Romanticism in its historical and political context.

内容説明
Germaine de Stael (1766-1817) was one of the most important women of letters of her own or any time. This translation of her best-known novel, Corinne (1807), is the first English translation in nearly a hundred years and restores its reputation in the mainstream of literary history. The volume includes an introduction by Avriel Goldberger, as well as explanatory notes and a chronology. Corinne, or Italy is a tragic tale of love between an Italian woman of genius and an English lord. It is concerned with such themes as the right to free love, the capacity of women for genius, the glorification of Italy and its art and architecture, the celebration of freedom, and the relationships among climate, geopgraphy, political institutions, and art. It is full of such romantic themes as dark women vs fair ladies, tainted versus pure lives, genius versus domestic virtues. Corinne stands at the center of nascent Romanticism and virtually bursts free of its neoclassical trappings to express these themes. It was written at a transitional point in the development of the French novel, and has greatly influenced the genre not only in France, but also in England and the United States.
