After his final attack on Shakespeare, the "Lettre de Monsieur de
Voltaire a Messieurs de l'Academie francaise", Voltaire composed
"Irene" as a demonstration of the supremacy of French theatre.
Whereas he had previously failed to win Marie Antoinette's favour
with his divertissement, "L'Hote et l'hotesse", "Irene" finally
granted him a triumphant return to Paris shortly before his death.
During the years 1776-1777, Voltaire continued his fight against
serfdom in the Jura region through his "Supplique a M. Turgot", the
"Lettre du reverend pere Polycarpe" and the "Lettre d'un benedictin
de Franche-Comte", while his "Dialogue de Maxime de Madaure, entre
Sophronime et Adelos" reveals a preoccupation with mortality at the
close of his life.
