Description and Table of Contents
Description
British poet Lord Byron and French writer Madame de Stael both made a great impact on a Europe in the throes of the Napoleonic Wars. This study looks at the two writers' personal relations, from their verbal sparring in Regency social life, through the friendship which developed in Switzerland after Byron left Britain in 1816, to Byron's tributes to Madame de Stael after her death. The book concentrates on their literary links, both direct responses to each other's works and copious evidence of shared concerns. Topics covered include the writers' treatment of gender, their grappling with the possibilities for "heroic" endeavour, their engagement with the contrasting social and political situations in Britain, France and Italy, and their conception of the writer's role.
