This eleventh volume of the Correspondance generale, which covers the years 1819 and 1820, is a valuable document of the intellectual life of the period as well as the multiple activities of Benjamin Constant as depute of the Sarthe, orator, journalist, publicist and champion of political and civil liberties during the second Restoration. Cet onzieme volume de la Correspondance generale comprend 473 lettres ecrites au cours des annees 1819 et 1820, epoque ou Constant, comme depute de la Sarthe a partir de mars 1819, ajoute a sa reputation de journaliste et de publiciste celle de brillant orateur et de defenseur des principes des liberaux. Le present volume constitue aussi un precieux document sur la vie intellectuelle et politique de l'epoque, non seulement a Paris, mais aussi dans la Sarthe, grace a l'abondante correspondance de Constant avec de nombreux habitants de ce departement. Le lecteur y trouvera aussi des lettres interessantes entre Constant et certains membres de sa famille, notamment celles de sa demi-soeur Louise, qui en decembre 1820 publie son premier roman Alphonse et Mathilde.
