Description
Ross Hall by Andrew Key In 1766, Jean-Jacques Rousseau fled persecution and arrived in England with his companion Thérèse Levasseur. They lived in the Staffordshire village of Wootton for eighteen months, during which time Rousseau began writing Part One of The Confessions. This period was marked by physical discomfort and psychological turmoil. Rousseau became deeply paranoid, suspecting that friends old and new were part of a conspiracy to discredit him. His benefactor, philosopher David Hume, was among those he suspected. Andrew Key reimagines this difficult sojourn in Ross Hall, offering a fresh perspective on a fascinating episode in history.
