Kinloch's splendid introduction and aesthetic ideas in The Thought and Art of Joseph Joubert is based on his comprehensive reading of Joubert's Carnets...Kinloch can present us with a more detailed and more coherent version of Joubert's Neoplatonnism and his thinking about art, including his own, than had previously been available to anyone with only printed sources to go by. * French Review * 'Kinloch's style is lively and incisive, with flashes of humour as he discusses the background to Joubert's aesthetics. Kinloch has given us a very good preface to a future critical edition of the Carnets, for which this study lays the groundwork.' Dennis Wood. University of Birmingham. French Studies. Vol 48 `the first really scholarly book about Joubert in English ... David Kinloch has made a heroic effort to put the pieces, and the thoughts, into order.' Times Literary Supplement
