Celebrated author of the early Romantic era, his life was one that imitated his art. Like everyone else of his time, the events of his life were strongly influenced by the stormy politics of France, of which he was a keen observer and sometimes also a participant. For his account of a youthful affair with the wife of Jean Johannot, see our entry for Marie Charlotte Aguiton. By far the most celebrated of his amours was Madame de Staël, who remained a magnetic force in his life for over 20 years.
