This discursive heritage also informed the reception of Rousseau's ideas in the next century under different circumstances. His discursive appropriation within this mid-century environment explains the shape of his reforms and how his ideas could be attractive not only to male detractors of feminine taste, but also to eighteenth-century Frenchwomen. By shifting feminine taste's site and purview into the domestic realm, he further undercut the honnête vision and refocused the discussion. He thus contributed to an ongoing discursive evolution away from the honnête understanding of women's taste which he both inherited and altered. Beyond this immediate context, though, Rousseau was intervening in a long-running debate about feminine taste. Clearly, Rousseau intended his comments, which were embedded within a complex, anxious, mid-century cultural context, to be reformist. This article seeks to better historicize Jean-Jacques Rousseau's discussion of women's taste in Emile (1762).

This book is not for those without a strong stomach! No expense is spared in describing the feasts of the headless Anthropophagi, but it seems to me that this is the only vice, violence. A friend of mine, of that age, loved this book, was able to understand it, and was not fazed by the violence- but I also wouldn't recommend this to some of my more squeamish adult friends. The first in what is at least a trilogy, "The Monstrumologist" creates believable fear. Though not a book for those with a small vocabulary (or no dictionary), for the experienced reader, this is a must-read horror story. The thing that I liked best about this book was that it had violence- but well-explained violence.
