It feels really exciting to have an opportunity to read it, but I also regret to inform you...
There's a lot of Voltaire as well though... Also I'm aware of her mother's thoughts on Rousseau (did read him but not a big fan of his view of women, surprise surprise). Not sure if Mary's are documented though!
so I was going through my old diary entries again (assigned reading? never heard of her!) and I came across this gem
aka how it all started (I guess):
'Also – something possessed me to go to the English bookshop next to Charles Bridge and I found a copy of Rousseau's Confessions for just 150 CZK (note: like €5 I guess?).
My lord. He discloses that he's into the >>English vice<< 15 pages in. In a passage where he talks about his childhood. Masoch straight up stole that story from him. Yeah, I can't stop reading it.'
