The first volume of the Correspondance generale de Benjamin Constant covers the period from 1774 to 1792 and contains the letters written by the child, from a very young age, to members of his family, those of the student who had been sent by his father to the Universities of Erlangen and Edinburgh, those of the young man in flight towards England and Scotland sent to Mme de Charriere, and, finally, those of the bored chamberlain at the court of Brunswick, where Constant contracted an unhappy marriage. The volume was edited by the General Editor of the Correspondance generale , Cecil P. Courtney of the University of Cambridge, assisted by Dennis Wood of Birmingham University.
