Madame de Sta�el's celebrity as a novelist, literary critic, and theorist made her the most famous woman in Europe in her day. Yet almost all of her bestselling writings were composed in exile from her beloved France - exiled for her political daring. Goodden explores the paradoxes of de Sta�el's life.
