Diderot Notes
Diderot may well be my favourite French author. He tried his hand at all types of writing, despite some not really working (his theatre in particular). For me, it was incredible to see how Diderot's philosophy permeates his writing, whatever form that writing happens to take. In fact, I find that whole Enlightenment thing pretty fascinating so it's hardly surprising that I took a liking to this man.
Here I've included revision notes (bulletpoints) on the 18th century context, Diderot's reader, Diderot's thought, the novel form and the symbolism of the dream.
There are also essays on 'Le reve de d'Alembert', 'Le Neveu de Rameau', 'La religieuse' and 'Jacques le Fataliste' (all fantastic texts); these were my first attempts at Special Author essays and so must be used to help develop ideas rather than be upheld as examples of wonderful work - this developed on its own during my year abroad in Paris (see Moliere essays!).

Reviews Of Our Notes
“The best place to start your readings as you can build a basic infrastructure out of them, rather than blindly dive into pages and pages.” Student, University of Oxford
“I have found the Oxbridge notes to be a really effective aid to my revision, they were thorough, up to date and relevant to my subjects, and were the main contributing factors to my exam success, very powerful tool.” Student, University of Manchester
“No unnecessary information... Oxbridge Notes cut to the chase and are more than sufficient to do well in exams.” University of Southampton, Singapore
“The notes have really helped clarify points in a thorough but casual manner. In a non threatening format they are very user friendly and aid in the construction of an effective backbone. I used these notes frequently to make additional notes on and to explain topics in a clearer fashion. The bundle has an added bonus that it allows the student to dip into other topics apart from those of the curriculum, thereby cementing your knowledge more generally. ” Psychology Graduate, GDL Student, University of London, London
“Oxbridge Notes have helped me greatly both over the course of the entire year with lectures and supervisions, as well as in preparation for the end of year exams. It really helps to have at hand notes that were written by a law student that was at one point in your exact position. The range, depth and quality of the material definitely made things easier to understand from a student point of view. Working alongside these notes is as close as you can get to working alongside a senior student at any time you wish.” Law Student, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom
