Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Starobinski offers neither a conventional biography of Rousseau nor a study of his thought. Rather, he describes Rousseau's consciousness, relying on details in Rousseau's work that most critics ignore; he shows, e.g., that Rousseau often described himself as crystalline . Defense against the constant assaults he imagined his enemies were planning preoccupied him , and his illness, as one might expect, is treated for its impact on his personality. Starobinski's illuminating work uses a method that in lesser hands would be dangerous but here succeeds admirably. David Gordon, Social Philosophy & Policy Ctr., Bowling Green St. Univ., Ohio

Product Description
Jean Starobinski, one of Europe's foremost literary critics, examines the life that led Rousseau, who so passionately sought open, transparent communication with others, to accept and even foster obstacles that permitted him to withdraw into himself. First published in France in 1958, Jean-Jacques Rousseau remains Starobinski's most important achievement and, arguably, the most comprehensive book ever written on Rousseau. The text has been extensively revised for this edition and is published here along with seven essays on Rousseau that appeared between 1962 and 1970.
