Richard A. Lebrun is professor of history, St Paul's College, University of Manitoba.

"The field of eighteenth-century and revolutionary studies has for too long played down the anti-Rousseau, counter-revolutionary arguments; Maistre's writings are a worthwhile antidote. The reader is certain to be vastly entertained by his colourful assaults and impressed by his trenchant common sense." J.F. Bosher, Department of History, York University. "Against Rousseau provides the English-speaking reader with a rare opportunity to view first hand the intellectual world of the early counter-revolution and the best insight into the formation of Maistre's counter-revolutionary thinking. Lebrun's superior translation has been done with care and sensitivity and is a major contribution to the field." David Klinck, Department of History, University of Windsor.
