| 520 | |b Examining the lives and works of three iconic personalities --Germaine de Staël, Stendhal, and Georges Cuvier--Kathleen Kete creates a groundbreaking cultural history of ambition in post-Revolutionary France. While in the old regime the traditionalist view of ambition prevailed--that is, ambition as morally wrong unless subsumed into a corporate whole--the new regime was marked by a rising tide of competitive individualism. Greater opportunities for personal advancement, however, were shadowed by lingering doubts about the moral value of ambition. Kete identifies three strategies used to overcome the ethical "burden" of ambition : romantic genius (Staël), secular vocation (Stendhal), and post-mythic destiny (Cuvier). In each case, success would seem to be driven by forces outside one's control. She concludes by examining the still relevant (and still unresolved) conundrum of the relationship of individual desires to community needs, which she identifies as a defining characteristic of the modern worldpages. | ||

| spelling | Kete, Kathleen. Making way for genius : the aspiring self in France from the old regime to the new / Kathleen Kete. New Haven : Yale University Press, ©2012. 1 online resource (1 online resource) text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Includes bibliographical references and index. The aspiring self in France from the old regime to the new -- Genius, Madame de Staël, and the soul of prodigious success -- Vocation, Stendhal, and the art of living ethically -- Destiny, cuvier, and post-revolutionary politics -- Friendship matters; arguments from Egypt; coda on Napoleon -- Ambition in post-revolutionary lives. Print version record. Examining the lives and works of three iconic personalities --Germaine de Staël, Stendhal, and Georges Cuvier--Kathleen Kete creates a groundbreaking cultural history of ambition in post-Revolutionary France. While in the old regime the traditionalist view of ambition prevailed--that is, ambition as morally wrong unless subsumed into a corporate whole--the new regime was marked by a rising tide of competitive individualism. Greater opportunities for personal advancement, however, were shadowed by lingering doubts about the moral value of ambition. Kete identifies three strategies used to overcome the ethical "burden" of ambition : romantic genius (Staël), secular vocation (Stendhal), and post-mythic destiny (Cuvier). In each case, success would seem to be driven by forces outside one's control. She concludes by examining the still relevant (and still unresolved) conundrum of the relationship of individual desires to community needs, which she identifies as a defining characteristic of the modern worldpages.
