Benjamin Constant participated in the tumultous political life of France during the French Revolution and its aftermath. As an intimate of Germaine de Stael, he encountered international writers and thinkers influential in the early intellectual development of European Romanticism. Adolphe is a seminal Romantic novel, probably autobiographical, published in 1816. It analyses the interior states of the young protagonist who has fallen in love with an older woman. The Red Notebook is a posthumously published first-person autobiographical narrative of Constant's youth.

About the Author

Benjamin Constant (1767-1830) was a French-Swiss po�litical writer and novelist. He combined a lively political career with a fertile literary output, while entertaining a series of liaisons with some of Frances most prominent women. Constant was an able parliamentarian, a cham�pion of liberalism and the author of The History of Reli�gion. Posterity, however, remembers him as the man who bared the anatomy of a destructive passion in the story of Adolphe (1816).
