Jean-Jacques Rousseau 1712 - 1778 was a Genevan philosopher writer and composer of 18th-century Romanticism of French expression. His political philosophy influenced the French Revolution as well as the overall development of modern political sociological and educational thought. His novel mile: or On Education is a treatise on the education of the whole person for citizenship. His sentimental novel Julie ou la nouvelle Hlose was of importance to the development of pre-romanticism and romanticism in fiction. Rousseau's autobiographical writings - his Confessions which initiated the modern autobiography and his Reveries of a Solitary Walker - exemplified the late 18th-century movement known as the 'Age of Sensibility' featuring an increasing focus on subjectivity and introspection that has characterised the modern age. His Discourse on the Origin of Inequality and his On the Social Contract are cornerstones in modern political and social thought. Rousseau was a successful composer of music. He wrote seven operas as well as music in other forms and he made contributions to music as a theorist. During the period of the French Revolution Rousseau was the most popular of the philosophes among members of the Jacobin Club. Rousseau a Freemason was interred as a national hero in the Panthon in Paris in 1794 16 years after his death.
