Combining a wide-ranging knowledge of contemporary theory with an informed interest in sociopolitical context and cultural history, the author goes on to explore the persistent importance of the Rousseauist paradigm through the close reading of works by a number of major French writers from Stendahl to Duras, Althusser, and Foucault UR - https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=169651 ER -
