Pagera Editor's Note
Rousseau is John Morley's critical study of the life and work of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, first published in 1873 as a companion to his earlier book on Voltaire. This record contains both volumes, in a 1905 reprint of the Macmillan edition. Morley treats Rousseau as a forerunner of the French Revolution and follows him from his youth in Geneva and Savoy through Paris, the Hermitage and Montmorency to persecution, his stay in England and his last years. Separate chapters examine the Discourses, his music, his relations with Voltaire and d'Alembert, the New Heloise, the Social Contract, Emile and the Savoyard Vicar.
