| book description |

Author, political activist and salonniÃ¨re, Germaine de StaÃ«l has become the focal point of groundbreaking research in womenâ€™s studies, in performing arts, and in language/translation theory. In this multidisciplinary volume, a team of scholars concentrates on the vast range of her political and cultural engagements, both during and after the French Revolution. In this collection of studies, which examine issues as diverse as citizenship, immigration, abolition or constitutional liberalism, StaÃ«lâ€™s stance as a champion of moderation against the perils of extremism and polarization comes clearly to the fore. Contributors shed new light on the Groupe de Coppet, the circle of which she was the heart, and on the cosmopolitan networks she created within and beyond Europe. Other articles underline and reassess StaÃ«lâ€™s formative influence on national cultures distant in space and time, redefining her Italianism inÂ Corinne ou lâ€™Italie, analysing the British reception of herÂ ConsidÃ©rationsÂ and exploring the impact ofÂ De lâ€™AllemagneÂ on American intellectual life. Germaine de StaÃ«l: forging a politics of mediationÂ highlights StaÃ«lâ€™s pioneering place in the history of global interaction. She emerges as a truly modern thinker as well as an agent of multicultural exchange.
