Excerpt from Oeuvres Poétiques de J. B. Rousseau, Vol. 2: Avec un Commentaire par M. Amar
Les noms fameux et les faits éclatants; Des vrais lauriers sages dispensatrices Muses! Jadis mes premières nourrices, De qui le sein me fit, presque en naissant, Téter un lait plus doux que nourrissant.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book contains a collection of epistles written by Jean-Baptiste Rousseau, an 18th-century French poet and dramatist. The epistles are addressed to various individuals including the Muses, Madame Dusse, and the Comte de Noailles. Rousseau's work is considered some of the best written within the genre of the epistle, showing his strong command of language and versification. At times playful, and at others deadly serious, Rousseau fearlessly tackles subjects revolving around love, art, religion, morality, and literature, particularly taking aim at what he saw as the vices of his contemporaries. Drawing upon classical sources such as Horace, Virgil, and Plato while maintaining a uniquely personal voice, this collection eloquently and wittily explores the enduring concerns of humanity.
