Chateaubriand: The Paradox of Change

by Malcolm Scott

This reassessment of Chateaubriand centres on the concept of change and his emotional suspicion of change, arising both from mistrust of his own inconstancy and from the suffering of the French Revolution. His aversion to change spread beyond politics to religion and literature, but conflicted with his intellectual fascination with historic change.
