1 ‘Christopher Bertram leads the reader through Rousseau’s Social
2 Contract with clarity, care, and a fine sense of the work’s underlying
plexity. At each step of this most illuminating journey, Bertram
4 takes the time to explore alternative meanings and make textual
5 connections that deepen our understanding of Rousseau’s political

the Social Contract filling a surprising gap in the market. It is sober,

well-received, well-respected and well-thumbed.’
