The year 1733 was the last before the momentous scandal over the
"Lettres philosophiques" which led to a new life for Voltaire at
Cirey. With hindsight it can be read as a prefatory period, full of
restive episodes and apprehension. Even "Zaire", a great success at
the Comedie-Francaise in 1732-1733, took on a controversial edge
when Voltaire wished to give it to a highly unorthodox, polemical
dedication. Similar doubts about Voltaire's respect for authority
are inspired by "Le Temple du gout", which was published without
official permission from the censors. Despite the unease from both
his political and personal disputes, Voltaire's prodigious literary
activity continues unabated, and includes philosophical works,
satires, poetry and a "Vie de Moliere" which remains fascinating
for its encounter of minds between two of France's most gifted
comic authors.
