Analytical paper on Jean-Jacques Rousseau's The Reveries of the Solitary Walker

Analytical paper on Jean-Jacques Rousseau's The Reveries of the Solitary Walker Order Description This is an open topic analytical paper on Jean-Jacques Rousseau's The Reveries of the Solitary Walker, so you can choose whatever aspect of the book and define a question that you want to investigate. For example: Rousseau's forced to escape to the nature not because he loves nature, but because he could no longer fit in the contemporary society. Something like that It is better if you can include the hitorical context of the book and the autobiography of the author, Rousseau.I have already found some sources that you can use and refer to. A Bibliography of Eighteenth-Century English Editions of J.-J. Warner, James H Philological Quarterly; Jan 1, 1934; 13, MLA International Bibliography pg. 225 VOLUME XIII JULY, 1934 NUMBER 3 A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY ENGLISH EDITIONS OF J.-J '. ROUSSEAU, WITH NOTES ON” THE EARLY DIFFUSION OF HIS WRITINGS By JAMES H. WARNER Arkansas State College (Monticello) The purposes of this article are to provide a much more extensive bibliography of the eighteenth-century editions of Jean Jacques Rous- seau in England than has existed hitherto, and to throw additional light on the question of the familiarity of the eighteenth-century English public with the writings of that famous sentimentalist.1 I have not attempted to determine the elusive, if not incommensurable, extent of Rousseau’s influence; but an examination of the diffusion of his works in England will probably be helpful in considering that problem. The first phase of the question to be clarified is, of course, the chronology of the translation of Rousseau’s writings into English. To that end I have listed in the left-hand column of the following chart the dates of original publication,2 and in the right-hand column the dates of first appearance in translated form. Asterisks signify that the works so marked were issued as parts of collected editions or in periodicals. 1For material on the diffusion of two of Rousseau’s earlier productions, see my article, “The Reaction in Eighteenth-Century England to Rousseau’s two Discours” (P.M.L.A., xlviii [1933], 471-88). This article also cites other studies of various phases of the reception which the English accorded Rousseau in the eighteenth century. 2Authority for the dates of original publication is taken from at least one of the following works: Gustave Lanson, article on Rousseau in La grands me cyclopédie (Paris, 1886-1902); G. Lanson, Manuel bibliographiquc de la Iittérature frangaa'se (Paris, 1910-14); L. I. Courtois, “Chronologie critique de la vie 'et les oeuvres de Jean Jacques Rousseau,” Annales de la société de Jean- Jacques Rousseau, xv (1923), 1-366; Théophile A. Dufour, Recherches bibliographiques sur les oeuvres imprimées do I. J. Rousseau, ed. Pierre- Paul Plan (Paris, 1925); or title pages of original editions (see citations in bibliography below). 225 Copyright (c) 2004 ProQuest Information and Learning Company Copyright (c) University of Iowa PLACE THIS ORDER OR A SIMILAR ORDER WITH US TODAY AND GET AN AMAZING DISCOUNT :)
