About this book

This collection brings together current research on topics that are perennially important to Romantic studies: the life and work of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and the landscape and history of his native Switzerland.

Reviews

“This new collection is of central importance to this trend and offers insightful contributions to our understanding of the fascinating intersections between Rousseau … . the collection more than fulfils its aim of articulating ‘new prospects’ and is likely to be seminal in terms of signalling and laying the foundations for the current resurgence of interest in Rousseau. … the collection is undoubtedly impressive and is to be commended as an invaluable contribution by eminent voices within Romanticism scholarship.” (Adrian J. Wallbank, The BARS Review, Issue 48, Autumn, 2016)
