Anne Louise Germaine de Stael-Holstein (1766-1817), commonly known as Madame de Stael, was a French woman of letters of Swiss origin whose lifetime overlapped with the events of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic era. She was one of Napoleon's principal opponents. Celebrated for her conversational 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 - Wiki. Corinne is both the story of a tragic love affair, and the author's romantic homage to Italy.
