Full Description
The "Questions sur l'Encyclopédie" stands as Voltaire's longest work, and yet it is one of his least known. In this complete critical edition, scholars explore fully for the first time the relationship between the "Questions" and its named object of enquiry – Diderot and D'Alembert's "Encyclopédie". They also assess the complex techniques by which Voltaire fashions new material through extensive copying and borrowing from his earlier publications. The work as a whole, written and revised principally between 1770 and 1774, is a compendium of Voltaire's views on a broad range of subjects including religion, history, art and literature. It varies greatly in style and tone – from joking asides and fleeting observations to long and complex disquisitions. It casts new light on familiar themes – justice, humanity and tolerance – and explores many new ones, constituting finally, in Voltaire's own words, 'un livre moral, fait en forme de dictionnaire'. The Voltaire Foundation's new edition of the "Questions" in eight volumes is the first authentic edition of this work to appear in over two centuries.
