Jean Starobinski

French Literature

Jean Starobinski is a critic and historian of ideas whose writings Open Library files under history and criticism, French literature, aesthetics and the eighteenth century, with the philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau as the most prominent single subject heading. The catalogue lists one hundred and fifteen works under his name and gives Jean-Jacques Rousseau as his top work, which indicates a long career of interpretive scholarship centred on the French Enlightenment. His author record connects to VIAF, ISNI, the Library of Congress name authority file, the Italian OPAC SBN and Wikidata. The record states no dates and carries no biography, so this entry records only the subjects, counts and identifiers the catalogue displays.
