Description of Making Way for Genius
Examining the lives and works of three iconic personalities - Germaine de Stael, Stendhal, and Georges Cuvier, the author creates a cultural history of ambition in post-Revolutionary France. She identifies three strategies used to overcome the ethical burden of ambition: romantic genius, secular vocation, and post-mythic destiny.
