Considerations on the Principal Events of the French Revolution (1818) is considered Germaine de Staël (1766-1817)’s magnum opus and sheds renewed light on the familiar figures and events of the French Revolution, among them, the financier and statesman Jacques Necker, her father. Editor Aurelian Craiutu states that Considerations explores “the prerequisites of liberty, constitutionalism and rule of law, the necessary limits on power, the relation between social order and political order, the dependence of liberty on morality and religion, and the question of the institutional foundations of a free regime.”
