Sommario/riassunto

This study of the impact of Staël and her novels in Germany from 1800-1850 focuses on debates over gender and authorship, first examining commentary and reviews by prominent literary men and women, and then analyzing a number of novels by women writers that rework Staël's themes of politics and female artistry. It revises women's literary history by replacing German women's writings within an international tradition of female artist novels inaugurated by Staël's Corinne (1807).
