She was one of Napoleon’s principal opponents. Celebrated for her controversial eloquence, she participated actively in the political and intellectual life of her times. Her works, both critical and fictional, made their mark on the history of European Romanticism.” Corrine is both a story of a tragic love affair, and the author’s homage to Italy. Though incomplete, this a rare Philadelphia French imprint in its original bindings. RAREA1814BDIN
