At the beginning of 1736, Voltaire was at the height of his
success, receiving praise from the public and fellow-poets alike.
The breathtaking breadth of Voltaire's activity this year ranges
from comedy, "L'Enfant Prodigue", and a major philosophical poem,
"Le Mondain", to public and private verse, including one of his
most arresting satires in "Le Crepinade", aimed at Jean-Baptiste
Rousseau. Voltaire relished the diversity of his literary output,
as he did the stimulation of his burgeoning scientific interests
and lively correspondence. However, despite the popular acclaim,
literary quarrels and lawsuits caused continuous tension, forcing
Voltaire by the end of the year, to flee France and the
'persecution' his fame had brought him.
