Œuvres complètes: V Correspondance 1803–1805

The 285 letters contained in this volume of the Correspondance générale date from the years following Constant's exclusion from the Tribunal. They reflect his work on religious issues, his dreams of literary success, and his travels in France, Germany, and Switzerland. In addition, they provide an impression of political life at the beginning of the Napoleonic empire and the emotional vicissitudes undergone by their author.
