La réception de Germaine de Staël dans le Brésil du xix^e siècle D’« illustre écrivaine » à « métaphysicienne »

The study of the global reception of Germaine de Staël in 19th century sheds light on her contribution as a political philosopher. Archival research on newspapers from 1827 to 1878 in the digital database of the National Library of Brazil indicates that she was an important inspiration for the Republican movement and that Mme de Staël’s name had a rhetorical impact in public discourses and helped shape the collective imaginary on the political role of women intellectuals in Latin America.
