Book Description:

Rousseau's argumentative skills immediately emerge in the opening pages of 'La Nouvelle Heloise' and remain the dominant artistic technique throughout his epistolary work of fiction. This book systematically delineates the features of Rousseau's persuasiveness and elaborates on the actual communicative devices to which so many critics have both alluded and remained indifferent.
