Summary: This series of Rousseau's collected works is wonderful. . .
Comment: This series published by Dartmouth and the University Press of New England is excellent in every way: superb translations based on reliable texts with helpful notes and introductory essays. If you're looking for an edition of Rousseau's "Confessions," forget the obsolete Penguin paperback and stop right here! It's too bad that more of these volumes are not available in paperback--I have only the "Confessions" and "Julie, or the New Heloise," Rousseau's massive and wonderful novel. I imagine that if this series had been published by Princeton as a Bollingen series that it would be available as a complete paperback series, like their edition of the works of Kierkegaard. As it is, you can't go wrong with the Dartmouth edition of "Julie" and the "Confessions"! (Also, by far the best translation of Rousseau's classic "Emile" ever to appear in English, by Bloom, is published by Basic Books.)

Summary: Great edition of this classic
Comment: What can one say about The Confessions? I would recommend this particular edition because of the inlusion of the letters to Malesherbes, which can shed some light on the process Rousseau's writing of The Confessions. We can also see where the text differs from what actually happaned: there are some discrepiences in his re-telling of the same event. There is as well an excellent introductory essay.
