*Why the \;Jean-Jacques \;Rousseau \;lecture? \; We hereby celebrate the true but very little known fact that Jean-Jacques \;Rousseau \;lived for a time in Staffordshire. \;From 22 March 1766 to 1 May 1767 \;Rousseau \;lived in the little Staffordshire village of Wootton. \;Rousseau \;had been invited to England by David Hume with whom he soon afterwards quarrelled. \;He then spent the next year in seclusion in Staffordshire writing the first drafts of his Confessions. \;When he was not writing it is said that he roamed the Staffordshire countryside in his Armenian costume studying wild flowers. Many years after his departure the locals remembered &lsquo\;Owd Ross Hall&rsquo\;\, not just for his eccentricities but also for his gifts to local charities. \;They believed he was a king in exile!
