Passage 49
– Rousseau and Romantic M0ve
Rousseau (1712-78) was one of the forerunners
of the Romantic movement, and also
one of the prophets of the French Revolution. He was by nature a rebel against existing
conceptions of religion, art,
education, marriage, government, and in book after book he
propounded his own theories on these subjects. Rousseau advocated a return to
nature. In the natural state, he held, man is
happy and good, and it is only society that,
by making life artificial, produces evil. His Emile, a treatise on education, advocated that
children should be brought up in an atmosphere
of truth, and it condemned the
elaborate lies that society imposed on the average child including myths and fairy-
stories.
