De L'Allemagne

De l'Allemagne

by Madame Germaine de Staël

‘De l’Allemagne’ by Germaine de Staël is a seminal work of comparative literature and cultural analysis. The book, written in 1810 during a time of political upheaval in France, explores the intellectual, cultural, and social landscape of Germany. De Staël delves into German literature, art, music, philosophy, and religion, contrasting these aspects with those of France and England. She examines the influence of philosophers like Immanuel Kant, the works of key German writers, and the overall character of the German people. Throughout the book, de Staël discusses the role of enthusiasm, morality, and religion in shaping individual and societal values. She also explores the concept of 'Germanic spirit', which she sees as characterized by a deep connection to nature, a focus on the inner world, and a penchant for idealism.
