The Purpose of this history of Cardinal Richelieu is to show the living personality of the man - to show it evolving, reacting to and acted on by other personalities - and to portray the conditions in France as he found them and transformed them.
Within such a narrow compass it is not possible to give full particulars of the sources on which this biography is based. It is a remarkable fact that in French literature apart from works by the cardina;'s contemporaries, there is no biography of Richelieu, and the great work projected by Gabriel Hanotaux has been left uncompleted.
Karl Federn was a literary translator, he translated from Italian (Dante Alighieri) and English (Ralph Waldo Emerson, Herman Melville and Walt Whitman). He emigrated to Denmark in 1933 and 1938 he moved to London, where he made himself a name as a critic of Marxism. His book Captain Latour has been banned in Germany by the Nazis.
