Bringing together leading scholars from the USA, Britain and Europe, this is the first substantial study of the seminal influence of Jean-Jacques Rousseau - the great philosopher of the French Revolution - on British Romanticism.

Reconsidering Rousseau's connection to canonical Romantic authors such as Wordsworth, Byron and Shelley, Jean-Jacques Rousseau and British Romanticism also explores his impact on Romantic-period nature writing, women's poetry, political discourse, and the Anti-Jacobin novel and the transnational contexts of British literary culture. Convincingly demonstrating that the relationship between Rousseau's thought and British Romanticism goes beyond mere reception or influence to encompass complex forms of connection, transmission and appropriation, Jean-Jacques Rousseau and British Romanticism is a vital new contribution to scholarly understanding of British Romantic literature.

Industry Reviews

"Rousseau's relationship to Romanticism is explored in some superb essays ... British Romantic women writers, Julie and Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, and the Romantic essayists are some of the topics covered in this collection." - SEL: Studies in English Literature 1500-1900
