Recherches sur Stendhal Vol.V

Meer over het boek

Key themes in Stendhal's work are explored through three studies, focusing on the heroism of dying for freedom, influenced by figures like Ariosto and Napoleon. The analysis delves into the conflict between royalists and republicans during the Vendée wars, as well as the despotic actions of Cardinals Richelieu and Mazarin during the Fronde, highlighting the plight of Cardinal de Retz. These studies offer a deep examination of historical and philosophical contexts within Stendhal's literature.
