Reviews
An essential book for Anglophones studying Voltaire, philosophy, and the separation of religion from government. - Portland Book Review No other book offers such a lively collection of Voltairian prose in so few pages Noyer has done a major service: choosing what to include as well as what to exclude. - Facts & Arts Noyer does us a signal service in providing this translation of twenty of Voltaire s pamphlets that have long been inaccessible in English, but are essential for understanding his long and untiring campaign for toleration, reason, and humanity. This book puts Voltaire into context and contains appreciations of Voltaire by contemporaries and subsequent scholars. It will prove valuable to instructors, students, and thoughtful readers of all stripes. -Dr. Harvey Chisick, Professor emeritus of history, University of Haifa, and author of The Limits of Reform in the Enlightenment

If this much wit and brilliance (all very adroitly translated) can't manage that, probably nothing can."" -Open Letters Monthly"
