Correspondance générale 1808–1809 (Oeuvres Completes, 7)

by Paul Delbouille (Editor), Robert Leroy (Editor)

The volume contains 422 letters. Constant marries Charlotte von Hardenberg, which leads to an estrangement from Germaine de Staël, his fellow-writer and mistress of long standing. In the letters from this period, political life takes a back seat, and after the appearance of Wallstein his literary creativity enters a dormant phase. The reader is confronted above all with Constant`s turbulent private life.
