In 'The Last Libertines,' Benedetta Craveri presents the lives of seven brilliant and virtuous young aristocrats during one of the most turbulent periods in European history: the end of the Ancien Régime and the beginning of democracy. Through their stories, Craveri explores how these children of the Enlightenment tried to reconcile their privileges with the need for change imposed by the French Revolution. Refined and adventurous, these characters conceived marriage as a mere convention, while seeking to influence power through ingenious strategies and shrewd intrigues. This book offers a new perspective on an era of great social and political transformations.
Adele Benedetta Craveri is an Italian literary critic, academic and writer.
