About the author

Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712–1778) was an eighteenth-century French Enlightenment thinker, philosopher, educationist, writer and composer. Born in Geneva, Switzerland, and died in Ermenonville, France, he advanced the ideas of popular sovereignty and natural human rights, which deeply influenced the French Revolution and Romanticism. His major works include The Social Contract, Emile, Discourse on the Origin of Inequality, Julie, or the New Heloise, and Confessions. His essays and miscellaneous writings are often marked by delicate self-examination and natural feeling, as seen in Reveries of a Solitary Walker. This library holds three of his works, spanning politics, essays and miscellaneous writings, and classic works.
