Items related to Rousseau: Confessions (Landmarks of World Literature)
Synopsis
This new textbook series is ambitious in scope. It will provide concise and lucid introductions to major works of world literature from classical antiquity to the twentieth century. It is not confined to any single literary tradition or genre, and will cumulatively form a substantial library of textbooks on some of the most important and widely read literary masterpieces. Each book is devoted to a single work and provides a close reading of that text, as well as a full account of its historical, cultural, and intellectual background, a discussion of its influence, and a guide to further reading. The contributors to the series give full consideration to the linguistic issues raised by each text, and, within the overall framework of the series, are given complete freedom in the choice of their critical method. Where the text is written in a language other than English, full account is taken of readers studying the text in English translation. While critical jargon is avoided, important technical terminology is fully explained and thus this series will be genuinely accessible to students at all levels and to general readers.

Book Description
Analyzing the Confessions in the context of Rousseau's life and Society, this critique examines the work's form and structure to reveal how he molded his life story to convey a meaning and project a self-image.
Review
"This brief but excellent treatment of the Confessions, written in limpid, jargon-free prose, is most agreeable to read. It will be particularly useful to advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students. Those of us who teach them owe a debt of gratitude to Professor France for this valuable contribution to the series." Arnold Miller, The Eighteenth Century
