"There are many ways to re-read a classic. One can go to it to participate again in something permanent. One can use it as a measure of one's own growth or decline. One can mine from it that which is useful for enlightening the present cultural situation. Irving Babbitt's Rousseau and Romanticism repays re-reading in all of those ways. . . . Rousseau and Romanticism is an enhancement and a subversion of postmodern discourses. Babbitt answers Deleuze's penchant for intensities with a celebration of amplitude."
--Michael A. Weinstein, Humanitas
