About the Book

This volume brings together Voltaire's writings from 1750-1752, penned before his break with Frederick the Great marked the end of his stay in Berlin. Ranging from philosophical poetry to military strategy and satire, these texts and commentaries reveal the full extent of Voltaire's intellectual interests. They also highlight his place within an Enlightenment network of (often temporary) allies, such as Frederick the Great, and sworn enemies, notably La Beaumelle and Maupertuis.

Table of Contents:
Defense de Milord Bolingbroke; Voltaire's commentary on Frederick's poem 'L'Art de la guerre'; Memoires sur La Beaumelle; Poeme sur la loi naturelle; 'Extrait' de la Bibliotheque raisonnee. Voltaire's review of the 'OEuvres de M. de Maupertuis'; Appendice 1: Texte attribue a Voltaire: Le Tombeau de la Sorbonne; Appendice 2: La 'Connaissance des beautes' de Durand

Review :
Edward James, French Studies 62.3 (2008): "Roland Mortier gives an interesting account of the relations between Voltaire and Bolingbroke, whom Voltaire admired. […] Claude Lauriol undertakes the daunting task of giving a clear account of the preposterously complicated, venomous and futile free-for-all between La Beaumelle, Voltaire and Maupertuis over La Beaumelle’s alleged irreverent comparison of the men of letters at Frederick’s court to “nains et bouffons”."; Jean Dagen, Revue d’Histoire littéraire de la France 111.2 (2011): "Excellent connaisseur de la vie et de l’œuvre
 de Maupertuis […] David Beeson répartit judicieusement entre son introduction et ses notes, nourries d’informations et de citations, les analyses et documents permettant de juger équitablement des attitudes intellectuelles et des comportements des deux antagonistes. On n’éprouve pas un moindre intérêt à suivre l’enquête scrupuleuse qu’Olivier Ferret instruit sur l’authenticité du Tombeau de la Sorbonne. […] À la question de l’attribution du Tombeau, Olivier Ferret répond dans une analyse serrée des arguments employés et un examen extrêmement attentif des qualités littéraires du texte; il incline à reconnaître en bien des endroits la patte du maître."
