Hello everyone!

Two things once again:
1. Would anyone be interested in beta- reading a Scarlet Pimpernel fanfic? I've always been irritated with the characterization of Robespierre in said series of novels, and am attempting to portray a more historically accurate one.
2. Is it true that Rosseau personally tutored Robespierre? According to someone on historical_love, he did, but I've never read about it. I'd think that it'd be something important enough in Robespierre's life to be included in all the things I've read on him.... Admittedly, I haven't read as much as I would like, nor have I read as much as everyone in this community, but I'd think that said information would pop up in at least one article or something. Have I just not read enough?

Yeah, no, as everyone said, Rousseau didn't personally tutor Robespierre; Robespierre said he saw him once, and he wrote later how it was Rousseau who "taught me to appreciate the dignity of my own nature" etc, and became a bit of an obsessee as we know. C'est tout. I can only think that maybe "taught" was misconstrued just a liiiittle? ^^
