Mme de Stäel’s Delphine, or a plea against the dominant norm
Main Article Content
Abstract
The early nineteenth century in France is characterized by the euphoria derived from the revolution. Nevertheless, the historical events soon showed that the freedom reached was just a social failure. The literary context witnesses the transition from the Enlightenment to Romanticism, where sentiments flourish to the detriment of the reason. Mme de Stäel, a relevant literary and political figure, highlighted in her works the worries of the nineteenth century aristocrat women. This paper aims to study the main feminist features of her epistolary novel, Delphine (1802), together with some relevant reflections from the translation into Spanish carried out by Juan Ángel Caamaño.
