| Summary | "Madame de Staël" by Bella Duffy is a biographical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the life and influence of Germaine de Staël, a prominent figure in the world of literature and politics during the French Revolution. The narrative focuses on her relationships, particularly with her mother, Madame Necker, and the social milieu that shaped her intellectual pursuits and ideals. The opening of the book introduces the main themes of Madame de Staël's early life, detailing her upbringing in an intellectually stimulating environment fostered by her influential parents, particularly her mother, Madame Necker. Duffy provides insights into Madame Necker’s character and her ambitions for her daughter, who begins to emerge as a figure of significance. As Germaine grows, we see the dynamics of her family, particularly the tensions with her mother regarding education and personal expression, laying the groundwork for her later development as a writer and political thinker. The opening passages set the stage for a deeper exploration of Madame de Staël's contributions to literature and her pivotal role in the tumultuous events of her time.
