In the wide range of essays, poems and pamphlets contained in this
volume we witness Voltaire exercising his polemical powers on a
remarkable multiplicity of fronts, only a matter of months before
he got involved in the Calas affair. Most notably, he offers a
spirited defence of French classical theatre against English
influence in "Appel a toutes les nations", he launches a fierce
attack against Rousseau in "Lettres sur la Nouvelle Heloise" and
"Rescrit de l'empereur de la Chine", and exposes the injustice of
the excommunication of actors in "Conversation de M. l'intendant
des Menus". Confrontation between the embattled encyclopedistes and
an increasingly confident and aggressive anti-philosophe faction in
the Paris Parlement and Versailles also links a number of
miscellaneous texts together in this volume.
