Introduction

Vincent, Patrick; Piccitto, Diane; Esterhammer, Angela

Pages: 1 –20

[When Lady Eleanor Butler and Sarah Ponsonby eloped and settled in the gothic-styled cottage of Plas Newydd close to Llangollen in the early 1780s, their thoughts naturally turned to Jean-Jacques Rousseau: ‘Sunday, December 4th — At one the Whalleys arrived. Mrs. Whalley wretchedly ill. After...

Romantic Education, Concealment, and Orchestrated Desire in Rousseau’s Emile and Frances Brooke’s Julia Mandeville

Steiner, Enit K.

Pages: 21 –37

[There has seldom been as ambitious a pedagogical project in narrative form as Rousseau’s Emile, or on Education (1762).1 Ambitious because, despite being interested in the fate of the individual, Rousseau seeks to achieve with Emile nothing less than the formation of a new kind of citizen, the...

Romantic Suicide, Contagion, and Rousseau’s Julie

Faubert, Michelle

Pages: 38 –53

[‘Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains’. The famous opening sentence of Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s The Social Contract (1762) has contributed to the writer’s image as one of the most influential defenders of personal liberty in Europe in the long eighteenth century, the text itself being...

Seeing Jean-Jacques’ Nature

Corkle, Rachel

Pages: 54 –67

[Who is Jean-Jacques? That is the question at hand in Rousseau’s Dialogues. Over three dialogues and some four hundred pages, the interlocutors — one named Rousseau, the other simply ‘a Frenchman’ — examine Jean-Jacques as a writer, a monster, a scélérat, and a man. Neither the exhaustive...

Rousseau’s Pygmalion and Automata in the Romantic Period

Nielsen, Wendy C.

Pages: 68 –83

[Scholars have long puzzled over the significance of Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s lyrical scene (scène lyrique), Pygmalion, particularly its composition during a key moment of the author’s life: his return to Switzerland, following the banning of Emile in France.1 Frederick the Great granted Rousseau...

Rousseau on the Tourist Trail

Watson, Nicola J.

Pages: 84 –100

[For aristocrats engaged on the Grand Tour, Switzerland had primarily registered as an inconveniently mountainous barrier to any journey to Rome. By the last decade of the eighteenth century the same landscape was in the process of becoming ‘romantic’ and a tourist draw in its own right. Part of...

James Boswell and Rousseau in Môtiers

Turnbull, Gordon

Pages: 101 –116

[James Boswell and his good friend William Johnson Temple, as college students in Edinburgh in the mid-1750s, climbed to the top of Arthur’s Seat high above the city and, alive with enthusiasm for the new French Enlightenment thought, cried: ‘Voltaire! Rousseau! Immortal names!’1 At or soon after...

Prints, Panoramas, and Picturesque Travel in Dorothy Wordsworth’s Journal of a Tour on the Continent

Buck, Pamela

Pages: 117 –131

[When Dorothy Wordsworth arrived in Switzerland in 1820 with her brother the poet William Wordsworth, his wife Mary Wordsworth, her cousin Thomas Monkhouse, and his new wife Jane Horrocks, they were one of many middle-class family groups who adopted the practices of commercial tourism in order to...

Visionary Republics

Vincent, Patrick

Pages: 132 –149

[In the earliest fair copy of Home at Grasmere, composed in 1806 but deriving from an earlier manuscript written perhaps as early as 1800, William Wordsworth describes Grasmere as a ’show’ that gradually unfolds itself to him (MS. B, line 696). Despite being a ‘Newcomer’, the speaker tells us, he...

A ‘Melancholy Occurrence’ in the Alps

Bainbridge, Simon

Pages: 150 –167

[One of the most surprisingly influential Romantic-period texts for the nineteenth-century imagining of Switzerland was the anonymous children’s book The Peasants of Chamouni, published in 1823. In this now little-known work, a mother tells her children the story of what is generally considered...
