The popularity of Candide has made him perhaps best known as a writer of tales. Yet these represent only a fraction of his entire ?uvre. Voltaire created a style of authorship which made him the most famous writer in Europe and made him a figurehead for a certain style of writing and thinking. This Companion covers his plays, fiction, pamphlets, correspondence, biblical criticism, and historical, political and philosophical thought, to give a wide-ranging view of his writings. The most comprehensive book on Voltaire available in English, it makes accessible the most recent research in France as well as the English-speaking world, in a series of original essays and a guide to sources. The essays demonstrate why Voltaire remains an essential point of reference in defining the modern intellectual today. 410 0$aCambridge companions to literature. 676 $a848/.509 702 $aCronk$b Nicholas 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996201149603316 996 $aThe Cambridge companion to Voltaire$92493434 997 $aUNISA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
