This
substantially revised new edition of Rousseau: The Basic Political
Writings features a brilliant new Introduction by David Wootton, a
revision by Donald A. Cress of his own 1987 translation of Rousseau's
most important political writings, and the addition of Cress' new
translation of Rousseau's State of War. New footnotes, headnotes, and a
chronology by David Wootton provide expert guidance to first-time
readers of the texts.
