The Passionate Exiles
Maurice Levaillant
Historical “dual biography” of Madame de Stael and Madame Recamier. Researchers tend not to take the written declarations of love as indications of sexuality.
Jeanne Françoise Julie Adélaïde Récamier was a French socialite, whose salon drew Parisians from the leading literary and political circles of the early 19th century.
Anne Louise Germaine de Staël-Holstein was a Franco-Swiss woman of letters and political theorist. Known as a witty and brilliant conversationalist, often dressed in daring outfits, she stimulated the political and intellectual life of her times. Her works, whether novels, travel literature or polemics, emphasized individuality and passion made a lasting mark on European thought.
