Description
Book SynopsisThe powerful memoir of Germaine de Stael's tumultuous years as a prominent politically active woman in Napoleonic Europe. Translated by an award-winning scholar, it is a strong-minded, passionate woman's personal and political journal, published to mark the bicentennary of Napoleon's rise to power.
Trade Review"Goldberger's translation is fluid.... Ten Years of Exile provides the best entry into Madame de Sta\u00ebl's thought and life. The new edition is invaluable."—The Hudson Review
"A much needed and anticipated authoritative work."—The Women's Review of Books
"A brilliant first draft of history, written by the woman whom Byron called 'the first female writer of this, perhaps of any age.'"—TLS
