Corinne, or Italy (1807) is both the story of a love affair between Oswald, Lord Nelvil and a beautiful poetess, and a homage to the landscape, literature and art of Italy. Staël weaves discreet French Revolutionary political allusion and allegory into her romance, whose publication saw her order of exile renewed by Napoleon. This new translation is complemented by notes and an introduction which serve to set an extraordinary work of EuropeanRomanticism in its historical and political contexts.
