Excerpt from Un Prophète: Edgar Quinet
Voilà dans quelles circonstances parut le livre de Mme de Sta'el. Loin de nuire à son succès, elles le firent éclatant et rapide. On ferma les yeux sur les réalités de l'heure présente la personnalité de la femme illustre, tant de fois persécutée, se confondit avec celle de la nation dont-elle prenait la défense. On ne voulut voir dans l'allemagne que la victime du plus lourd despotisme. Il parut: naturel que la France rachetât ce crime. Les cri tiques passionnées du caractère français qui abon dent dans ce livre, légèreté prétendue, frivolité, égoïsme, immoralité, ne choquèrent personne ne sommes-nous pas le peuple qui, le plus facilement, se dénigre'? Notre sévérité envers nous - mêmes n'eut 'égale que notre complaisance à l'égard du vainqueur.
