Republican Passions Germaine de Staël and Mary Wollstonecraft on the Politics of Emotion and the French Revolution, c.1785-1815

该项目通过杰曼·德Staël（1766-1817）和玛丽·沃斯通克拉夫特（1759-1798）的作品，考察了法国大革命后政治生活中激情、情感和影响的地位。作为女作家、革命见证者、激情哲学家和新教思想家，德Staël和沃斯通克拉夫特对这个问题提供了特别有用的见解。我对他们思想的比较、双语案例研究，希望能揭示1789年后英法两国对待政治情感的态度是如何转变的。

This project examines the place of passions, sentiments and affectations in political life in the aftermath of the French Revolution through the writings of Germaine de Staël (1766-1817) and Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1798). As woman writers, witnesses to the Revolution, philosophers of the passions and Protestant thinkers, De Staël and Wollstonecraft offer an especially useful insight into this issue. My comparative, bilingual case-study of their thought hopes to shed light on the ways in which British and French attitudes to political feelings shifted after 1789.
