1728-1730 were for Voltaire years of self-examination as he
returned to the French literary world after his exile in England.
His literary output was sparse, as he worked hard to cement his
established reputation in the tragic theatre, with plays that
attempt to reconcile his admiration for Shakespearian drama with
classical training and the expectations of a Parisian audience.
These early works, such as Voltaire's bitter denunciation of
official prejudice "La Mort de Mademoiselle Lecouvreur", contain
the seeds of the social and political philosophy he would work to
cohere, centered on hatred of tyranny and superstition, and
opposition to war. Contributors: Ahmad Gunny, Robert Niklaus,
Nicole Masson and John Renwick.
