Jean-Jacques Rousseau and the Cosmopolitan Spirit in Literature: A Study of the Literary Relations Between, France and England During the Eighteenth Century (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Jean-Jacques Rousseau and the Cosmopolitan Spirit in Literature: A Study of the Literary Relations Between, France and England During the Eighteenth Century
But how did that theory come to be formulated? What are the facts upon which it was based? How, and where did it arise, and under the influence of what circumstances? Such is the problem which I have attempted to solve.
It seemed to me that the origins and successive forms of the influence of the classical Spirit upon the French genius had been studied repeatedly and at great length, but that the origins of the cosmopolitan spirit, which had assailed and threatened to supplant that influence, had been less frequently - and very inaccurately - dealt with.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau and the Cosmopolitan Spirit in Literature
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the cosmopolitan spirit in literature, a phenomenon that emerged during the 18th century due to increased interaction between France and England. The author argues that the cosmopolitan spirit, or interest in and appreciation of foreign literature, was primarily driven by English influence on French writers and thinkers. The author traces the origins of this influence to the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685, which led to a significant Protestant emigration from France to England. The Protestant refugees acted as cultural intermediaries, transmitting English ideas and literary works to French audiences. The author highlights the role of key figures like Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who was heavily influenced by English literature, particularly the novels of Samuel Richardson. Through Rousseau and other writers, English literature became a major force in shaping the development of French literature during the 18th century and beyond, leading to a shift away from the classical tradition and towards a more cosmopolitan and diverse literary landscape. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330165508_0
