This review is from: Rousseau and Geneva: From the First Discourse to The Social Contract, 1749-1762 (Ideas in Context) (Hardcover)
Rosenblatt's book makes a major contribution to Rousseau scholarship. She lays to rest the common idea that Rousseau was a utopian dreamer unconnected to a concrete political program. By situating Rousseau's political thought in the context of the constitutional crises of Geneva, Rosenblatt solves numerous puzzles that arise for inquisitive readers of Rousseau's *Social Contract* and other works. The historical research is first-rate, revealing Geneva to be a hotbed of political conflict in Rousseau's day. This is a must read book for all Rousseau scholars and those interested in a deeper understanding of his thought.
