Rousseau: A Very Short Introduction

ALL of the "Very Short Introduction" series offered by Oxford University press are useful, and this is no exception. As a college professor in Humanities, I teach a rolling schedule of courses that cover different periods. Prior to teaching these, I like to review the works of major authors of the periods I will be presenting, as in this case, Rousseau. Each book presents the overview I need to refresh my knowledge, including biographical details and insights on the most important characteristics of their writings and philosophy.
