VORREVOLUTIONÄRES ZEITALTER - Palmer, R. R.: The Age of the Democratic Revolution - A political History of Europe and America, 1760-1800 - The Challange; Princeton, New Jersey, Princeton University Press, 1965 (4th Printing).
Robert Roswell Palmer (* Chicago 1909, + 2002), US-amerikanischer Historiker. // A. d. Vorwort: There have been a great many works about the American Revolution, the French Revolution, the beginnings of the parliamentary reform movement in Great Britain, and on Irish affairs, as also, though less known in English-speaking world, on the several countries of continental Europe during this revolutionary era. This book attempts to bring all these national histories together. It rests heavily upon the work of others and is therefore an example of what we have come to know as a historical synthesis. The book may be thought of also as an attempt at a comparative constitutional history of Western Civilization at the time of the French and American revolutions, but "constitutional" is to be understood in a broad sense in close connection with the political, social and intellectual currents and the actual conflicts at the time. // Contents: 1.

Robinson, Philip E.J.: Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Doctrine of the Arts. Berne, Frankfurt/M., Nancy, New York Peter Lang Vlg. 1984. ISBN: 978-3-261-03379-6
This is the first book to set out comprehensively Rousseau's theoretical statements on the arts: music and opera, theatre, fiction, poetry, the visual arts and dance. These statements are seen in terms of the phases of his intellectual development: the early years, the social criticism of the 1750s, the future-orientated theory of Emile and other texts, and finally the increasing self-scrutiny. This approach, conscious at all times of the element of personal commitment in his thinking, permits a sympathetic understanding, if not a resolution, of the famous paradoxes. The chief of these, his simultaneous condemnation and practice of drama, music and literature, is seen less as a personal contradiction than as a pointer to the ills of society which outrage him. Despite the huge social, political and economic upheavals since his death in 1778, Rousseau emerges as a thinker who has much to teach those concerned for the health of the arts in a modern world and for the moral values which attend them.
