(Jean-Baptiste Rousseau), Jean-Baptiste Rousseau (April 6, 1671- March 17, 1741), was a French poet. He was born in Paris, the son of a shoemaker, and was well educated. As a young man, he gained favour with Boileau, who encouraged him to write. Rousseau began with the theatre, for which he had no aptitude. A one-act comedy, Le Café, failed in 1694, and he was not much happier with a more ambitious play, Le Flatteur (1696), or with the opera Venus et Adonis (1697). In 1700 he tried another comedy, Le Capricieux, which had the same fate. He then went with Tallard as an attaché to London, and, in days when literature still led to high position, seemed likely to achieve success. His misfortunes began with a club squabble at the Café Laurent, which was much frequented by literary men, and where he indulged in lampoons on his companions. A shower of libellous and sometimes obscene verses was written by or attributed to him, and at last he was turned out of the café. At the same time his poems, as yet printed only singly or in manuscript, acquired him a great reputation, due to the dearth of genuine lyrical poetry between Jean Racine and André de Chénier. In 1701 he was made a member of the Académie des inscriptions; he was offered, though he had not accepted, profitable places in the revenue department; he had become a favourite of the libertine but influential côterie of the Temple; and in 1710 he presented himself as a candidate for the Académie française. Verses more offensive than ever were handed round, and gossip maintained that Rousseau was their author. Legal proceedings of various kinds followed, and Rousseau ascribed the lampoon to Joseph Saunin. In 1712 Rousseau was prosecuted for defamation of character, and, on his non-appearance in court, was condemned to perpetual exile. He spent the rest of his life in foreign countries except for a clandestine visit to Paris in 1738; he refused to accept the permission to return which was offered him in 1716 because it was not accompanied by complete rehabilitation. Prince Eugène and then other persons of distinction took him under their protection during his exile, and at Soleure he printed the first edition of his poetical works. He met Voltaire in Brussels in 1722. Voltaire's Le Pour et le contre is said to have shocked Rousseau, who expressed his sentiments freely. At any rate the latter had thenceforward no fiercer enemy than Voltaire. His death elicited from Jean-Jacques Lefranc, marquis de Pompignan an ode that was perhaps better than anything of Rousseau's own work. That work may be roughly divided into two sections. One consists of formal and partly sacred odes and cantatas of the stiffest character, of which perhaps the Ode a la fortune is the most famous; the other of brief epigrams, sometimes licentious and always, or almost always, ill-natured. As an epigrammatist Rousseau is inferior only to his friend Alexis Piron. The frigidity of conventional diction and the disuse of all really lyrical rhythm which characterize his period do not prevent his odes and cantatas from showing at times true poetical faculty, though cramped, and inadequate to explain his extraordinary vogue. Few writers were so frequently reprinted during the 18th century, but even in his own century La Harpe had arrived at a truer estimate of his real value when he said of his poetry: "Le fond n'est qu'un lieu commun c.

Book
Erste Werkausgabe des französischen Lyrikers, der als der beste seiner Zeit galt. "Seinen Ruhm als Prince des poètes" (Dichterfürst) verdiente er sich schließlich mit sakralen und profanen Kantaten und Oden. In ihnen verarbeitet er (ähnlich wie die barocken Maler der Zeit) vor allem Stoffe und Situationen aus der biblischen und der antiken Geschichte und mehr noch der griechisch-römischen Mythologie, die er in kunstvoll ziselierten Versen und Strophen, einem hochrhetorischen Stil und einer Sprache und Metaphorik voller literarischer, besonders klassisch-antiker Reminiszenzen, darstellte . In der Folgezeit wurde er mehr und mehr zum Opfer seines schwierigen Charakters. So vermutete er die Ursache seines Misserfolgs als Dramatiker in einer Verschwörung von Kollegen, die wie er im Kaffeehaus der Witwe Laurent verkehrten. Als er seinem Ärger mit anonymen Epigrammen auf sie Luft machte, die er heimlich dort auslegte, erhielt er Hausverbot und bekam es schließlich sogar mit der Polizei zu tun, als er die Kollegen weiter per Post drangsalierte . Nachdem er wegen einiger besonders boshafter Epigramme Schwierigkeiten bekommen hatte, versuchte er die Autorschaft zu leugnen und sie einem Kollegen (Joseph Saurin) zuzuschreiben. Als dieser seine Verantwortung bestritt, bot Rousseau eine gekaufte Zeugenaussage gegen ihn auf und brachte ihn für geraume Zeit sogar ins Gefängnis. 1712 wurde er jedoch zur Zahlung von 4000 Francs Schmerzensgeld verurteilt und wegen Verunglimpfung von Personen, aber auch der Religion, auf Lebenszeit aus Frankreich verbannt ."
