This book re-opens the question of Rousseau's influence on the
French Revolution and on English Romanticism, by examining the
relationship between his confessional writings and his political
theory. Gregory Dart argues that by looking at the way in which
Rousseau's writings were mediated by the speeches and actions of
the French Jacobin statesman Maximilien Robespierre, we can gain a
clearer and more concrete sense of the legacy he left to English
writers. He shows how the writings of William Godwin, Mary
Wollstonecraft, William Wordsworth and William Hazlitt rehearse and
reflect upon the Jacobin tradition in the aftermath of the French
revolutionary Terror.
