During much of his life Voltaire's plays and verse made him the
toast of society, but his barbed wit and commitment to reason also
got him into trouble. Jailed twice and eventually banished by the
King, he was an outspoken critic of religious intolerance and
persecution. His personal life was as colourful as his intellectual
one. Voltaire never married, but had long-term affairs with two
women: Emilie, who died after giving birth to the child of another
lover, and his niece, Marie-Louise, with whom he spent his last
twenty-five years. With its tales of illegitimacy, prison, stardom,
exile, love affairs and tireless battles against critics, Church
and King, Roger Pearson's brilliant biography brings Voltaire
vividly to life.
