Voltaire's correspondence has been described as his 'greatest
masterpiece' - but if it is, it is also his least studied. One of
the most prodigious correspondences in Western literature, it poses
significant interpretative challenges to the critic and reader
alike. Considered individually, the letters present a series of
complex, subtle, and playful literary performances; taken together,
they constitute a formidable, and even forbidding, ensemble. How
can modern readers even attempt to understand such an imposing
work? This Element addresses this question through the use of
digital reading methods and resources that enhance our
understanding of this complex literary object and its relationship
to Voltaire's more canonical literary output, and indeed to the
Enlightenment world at large. Nicholas Cronk and Glenn Roe provide
scholars and students with new pathways into this particular
corpus, using tools and approaches that can then be applied to
correspondences and life-writing texts in all languages and
periods.
