Separate sections are devoted to Constant as a political theorist and actor, his work as a social analyst and literary critic, and his accomplishments as a historian of religion.
Themes covered range from Constant's views on modern liberty, progress, terror, and individualism, to his ideas on slavery and empire, literature, women, and the nature and importance of religion.
The Cambridge Companion to Constant is a convenient and accessible guide to Constant and the most up-to-date scholarship on him.
