      In his own lifetime, Henri Benjamin Constant de Rebecque was known as a political theorist, as the courageous defender of liberal causes, and as a notable historian of the religious experience of mankind. Through his journals, autobiographical works and correspondence - documents largely unknown to his contemporaries - subsequent generations have discovered in Constant a complex personality and have seen in "Adolphe" one of the greatest French novels of psychological analysis. In recent decades a number of private archives have become accessible to scholars for the first time, and this has brought to light important documents by, and relating to, Constant. Drawing on these sources, many of them unpublished, Dennis Wood's biography offers a fresh assessment of Constant the writer and the man, laying particular stress on his early experiences. Wood relates the development of Constant's political thought, and his passionate interest in the history of religion, to his work as novelist and self-analyst.
