Poetry. In the winter of 1766, Rousseau stayed at Wootton Hall in England. Here he did not so much vegetate, as, seemingly, seek active equality with plants, his new obsession. English admirers would contrive to encounter him by chance on his rambles, leading him to conjecture some massive conspiracy against his life. To some, Rousseau may appear bizarre, disroyal and negligible; if not, you have a good chance of enjoying this book of open ideas and strange identities.
