Seller's Description:
Very Good Condition. This is a former Voltaire Foundation library copy, and is stamped 'Voltaire Foundation Library' on the front free endpaper. There are no other stamps or markings, and in all other respects it is a brand new, unread copy. Publisher's note: 1728-1730 were for Voltaire years of self-examination as he returned to the French literary world after his exile in England. His literary output was sparse as he worked hard to cement his established reputation in the tragic theatre, with plays that attempt to reconcile his admiration for Shakespearian drama with classical training and the expectations of a Parisian audience. These early works, such as Voltaires bitter denunciation of official prejudice La Mort de Mademoiselle Lecouvreur, contain the seeds of the socio-political philosophy he would work to cohere, centered on hatred of tyranny and superstition and opposition to war.
