About the Book

Leaving school determined to be a poet, Voltaire's satires were admired in aristocratic circles as well as the freethinking, hedonistic "Societe du Temple". However, they soon earned him notoriety, and, in 1717, eleven months imprisonment in the Bastille. This volume brings together Voltaire's earliest poetic works, from student experimentation in rhetoric to his first major philosophical poem "Epitre a Uranie". Voltaire remained a writer who shaped himself to his audience, and these works for a private circle of intimates show a rare private persona of the poet, the opposite of the official Voltairean voice on the stage of the Comedie-Francaise. This edition includes the subversive poem "Regnante puero" attributed to Voltaire, together with a detailed overview of the political repurcussions. The one Voltairean literary genre which is still widely read today, the conte philosophique, emerges in two prose tales, which, however light-heartedly, pose disturbing questions about social behaviour.

Review :
Zeitschrift fur franzoesische Sprache und Literatur 116/2: "Ce que les lecteurs attendent d'une edition critique, surtout lorsque celle-ci fait partie d'une collection prestigieuse qui ne sera peut-etre jamais reprise, c'est qu'elle apporte toutes les informations, textuelles ou explicatives. Or, le travail accompli par les differents editeurs est proprement admirable. L'apparat critique est d'une extreme richesse, tout en restant tres clair et discret." Dix-Huitieme siecle: "Ce que la Voltaire Foundation nous offre, pour la premiere fois, c'est un champ voltairien, au sens ou Bourdieu parle de champ social, un ensemble de tensions, de tentations et de contradictions." Revue Voltaire: "On accordera une place d'honneur aux contes en prose (Le Crocheteur borgne et Cosi-Sancta) et a leur editrice qui realise l'un veritable tour de force. L'Introduction du Crocheteur borgne ne cesse d'eblouir le lecteur a la fois par l'extension du savoir et la pertinence des commentaires, sans oublier la correction et le brio d'un style digne de l'ecrivain dont il traite."
