Reviews

“The literary power and historical importance of Voltaire’s early masterpiece have been unquestioned since the early 1900s, when its first scholarly editor, Gustave Lanson, declared it ‘la première bombe lancée contre l’ancien régime’. … A model of rigorous literary scholarship and handsome material production.” Thomas Keymer, Review of English Studies
