Love in Coppet

Based on the diary entries of the English governess Fanny Randell, one of Madame de Stael's most ardent admirers, a very personal, intimate portrait emerges of one of the most controversial female figures of the 19th century: Germaine de Stael. Banished from Paris by Napoleon, the only daughter of the millionaire and former finance minister Necker lived at Coppet Castle on Lake Geneva, which soon became one of Europe's leading intellectual centers. Benjamin Constant, Juliette Récamier, and August Wilhelm Schlegel were frequent visitors. Selma Urfer achieves a imaginative synthesis of exact historical research and fiction.
