520 1 $a"One of the most fascinating, intelligent, and influential thinkers of her time, Anne Louise Germaine, Baronne de Stael-Holstein (1766-1817), was born into a wealthy and distinguished Swiss family. Her mother held a famous salon attended by such celebrities as Voltaire and Diderot, and her father, Jacques Necker, was Louis XVI's minister of finance and the author of several books in which he vigorously defended liberty, constitutionalism, and moderate government." "Of all her writings, Considerations on the Principal Events of the French Revolution, published posthumously in 1818, is Stael's most important political work, becoming a classic of liberal thinking. She recounts the momentous events of the French Revolution, including the fall of the Bastille and the resulting Terror. Anticipating Tocqueville's analysis of the Revolution, Stael saw the events of 1789 as an inevitable phenomenon that could not have been averted by the efforts of a few individuals. Editor Aurelian Craiutu states that Considerations explores "the prerequisites of liberty, constitutionalism and rule of law, the necessary limits on power, the relation between social order and political order, the dependence of liberty on morality and religion, and the question of the institutional foundations of a free regime." Throughout the six parts of Considerations, Stael offers memorable insights into the events, institutions, and personalities of the time, including an unflattering portrait of Napoleon." "Liberty Fund presents a substantially revised and corrected translation of the 1818 English edition of Considerations, which has been out of print for almost two centuries. A comprehensive introduction and explanatory notes provide background information and identify persons and events."--BOOK JACKET.
