"De l'Allemagne; t.1" by Madame de Staël is a literary and philosophical essay written between 1810-1814. This work presents a passionate defense of German culture, exploring everything from geography and society to literature, arts, philosophy, and religion. Written during Staël's exile under Napoleon, the original edition was seized and destroyed by imperial censors. The essay challenges French conventions, advocating for emotional expression and philosophical renewal through engagement with German thought, including detailed
examinations of Kant, Goethe, and Schiller. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
