Review :
Christian Jouhaud, Directeur d’études à L’Ecole des hautes études en sciences sociales: "Le Siècle de Louis XIV appartient au tout petit groupe des monuments historiographiques qui ont imposé leur vision de la période qu’ils traitent. Passage obligé vers le ‘Grand Siècle’, il n’a pas besoin d’être cité pour être présent, au moins comme souvenir de lecture, dans une multitude d’ouvrages. Mais on en retient surtout le fameux projet: ‘peindre à la postérité, non les actions d’un seul homme, mais l’esprit des hommes dans le siècle le plus éclairé qui fut jamais’. Et on ne lit plus que les trois chapitres qui semblent appliquer ce programme. L’édition donnée par la Voltaire Foundation décape le monument par la prise en compte de toutes les variantes – qui montrent bien comment cette œuvre a évolué durant presque un demi siècle – et les innombrables informations contextuelles offertes dans les notes. Ce magnifique travail savant devrait permettre au lecteur de prendre la mesure de la puissance critique de tout l’ouvrage qui, jusque dans ses pages les plus narratives, affronte la question de la preuve et du doute dans l’écriture de l’histoire." J. H. Shennan, Emeritus Professor, University of Lancaster: "Le Siècle de Louis XIV is a milestone on the road to modern history-writing. Voltaire, the chief publicist of the Enlightenment, wrote his history en philosophe, concerning himself with the human condition and with man’s progress (or the lack of it) towards personal freedom; a preoccupation which later generations of historians have largely inherited. This edition, based on the 1775 version but with annotations from earlier editions, provides an 18th-century portrait of ‘le Grand Siècle’ which was startlingly new and an insight into the new history which is surprisingly familiar. Such a scholarly re-publication of one of the seminal works of the ‘Siècle des Lumières’ is greatly to be welcomed." Olivier Chaline, professeur d’histoire moderne à l’Université Paris IV-Sorbonne: "L’annotation établie par D. Venturino est sobre et précise, présente mais pas pesante. Héritière de la tradition des études voltairiennes, elle ne vise pas à une réécriture en marge de l’histoire de Louis XIV. Elle vise à replacer le texte dans la connaissance qu’avaient les contemporains du Grand Siècle écoulé et dans les débats qu’il suscitait. Tout est donc ordonné à la restitution des sources utilisées et à l’intelligence de l’œuvre de Voltaire."
