Although these letters went through the post as ordinary letters, once Rousseau became famous, he knew that they might be opened by the police and that they were very likely to be circulated and even published. Indeed, he wrote some of them with a view to their ultimate publication.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRousseau's enormous \"private\" correspondence extends into all periods of his life, including intimate letters to friends, letters to famous individuals, and responses to readers who posed philosophic questions to him. Thus, Eve Grace and Christopher Kelly also share his responses to readers who had been moved by his books. Further, this volume includes letters written to or about major intellectual figures, such as Diderot, Voltaire, Hume, and Mirabeau.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePart 1: Rousseau before the First Discourse: 1712–50\u003cbr\u003e Part 2: After the \"Illumination\": 1750–56\u003cbr\u003e Part 3: Life in the Country: April 1756–June 9, 1762\u003cbr\u003e Part 4: Exile: June 9, 1762–May 1767\u003cbr\u003e Part 5: The Final Years: June 1767–1778\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cornell University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52670804885784,"sku":"9781501781933","price":40.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/letters-from-rousseau-selected-correspondence-hardback-9781501781933","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
