Une lettre inédite de Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1769)
No full textJean-Jacques Rousseau : Unpublished letter. Presented by Simon Davies.
In 1769 Rousseau was planning an expedition to Mont Pilat in the company of the abbé Baurin. In the 19th Century it was noted that there were eight unpublished letters from Rousseau to Baurin ; five of these were printed in the Leigh edition of the Correspondence, but the other three had been lost. It is highly likely that the letter produced here is one of these missing communications.Davies Simon. Une lettre inédite de Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1769). In: Dix-huitième Siècle, n°31, 1999.
