The major part of this volume is taken up by two plays, "Don Pedre"
and "Olympie", in which Voltaire attempted to inject dynamism and
spectacle into the French theatre while still working in the
classical tradition. At the same time Voltaire continued his
defence of French literature against foreign, particularly English,
influence, with his Avis referring to the prestigious edition of
Corneille, and more importantly the "Parallele d'Horace, de
Boileau, et de Pope". Other political, religious and philosophical
themes of 1761 are articulated in the remaining texts of the
volume.
