<div><p>First published posthumously in 1782 from an unfinished manuscript, <i>The Reveries of the Solitary Walker</i> continues Rousseau's exploration of the soul in the form of a final meditation on self-understanding and isolation. This accurate and graceful translation by Charles Butterworth--the only English version based on Rousseau's original text--is accompanied by an interpretive essay, extensive notes, and a comprehensive index.</p></div>
