Background
Rousseau, George Sebastian was born on February 23, 1941 in New York City. Son of Hyman Victoire and Esther (Zacuto) Rousseau.
("The Rape of the Lock is the finest example of witty mock...)
"The Rape of the Lock is the finest example of witty mock-epic ever written," states G.S. Rousseau. In his Introduction to this collection of essays- the first to bring together the major recent evaluation of Alexander Pope's masterpiece-Rousseau presents a new critical approach, drawing heavily on the significance of a heroine who is both an enchanting divinity and a tantalizing coquette. Other selections in this book present interpretations by such distinguished critics as Reuben Brower, Willian Wimsatt, Jr., and Cleanth Brooks, who express differing - and often controversial - opinions about this classic poem which "continues to charm readers by its deft combination of the serious and the non-serious."

At least three of Goldsmith's works are considered classics. He was also, as this volume demonstrates, a prolific and talented essayist and journalist, who wrote on diverse subjects with a distinctive, flexible and vivid style.

( When in his "Epistle to Dr. Arbuthnot" Pope referred to...)
When in his "Epistle to Dr. Arbuthnot" Pope referred to “this long disease, my life,” his statement was quite literally true, since Pope, in addition to being a dwarf and a hunchback, suffered from many diseases during his lifetime. With technical advice from several physicians, the authors present the first medical case history of the poet. Drawing heavily upon the Correspondence for information about Pope's symptoms, they discuss the effect ill health had on his writings and the prevalence of medical themes in his works. The authors also explore Pope’s interests in astronomy (second only to his obsession with medicine), microscopy, geology, and physics and how they relate to his writings. Originally published in 1968. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Between 1970 and 2000 George Rousseau wrote a series of landmark essays about the role of nervous physiology in literature and history that altered the landscape of eighteenth-century studies. The essays changed the direction of some Enlightenment thought and configured the rise of sensibility in new ways. Since then much work has been done which engages, challenges, adopts, and expands on Rousseau's original discussions. This volume collects and reprints the most important of those essays and surveys the current critical moment as it touches on the vocabularies Rousseau pioneered. The introduction surveys nerves from the ancients to the moderns, and then selects examples in literature where the literary and moral elements of nervous discourse are especially prominent. The epilogue engages with the critical reception of the original essays and provides biographical and critical reflections on the legacy of the nerves in literary scholarship.
