Reviews
Studi Francesi
The wide range of 136 speeches included in these two volumes is a testimony of the staggering variety of subjects, situations, ideological polemics, projects, alternative utopias, literary quarrels, legal defences, which nourished Voltaire, a strenuous defender of tolerance who often defied paradox. […] One can notice the editors’s aim not to gather these subjects by strict order of themes, but to juxtapose one with the other in order to show differences, as a homage to the proteian development of Voltaire’s writing.
Dix-Huitième Siècle
La personnalité de V. apparaît ici, plus que jamais dans sa complexité et son art dans l’infinie variété de ses registres. […] Ces actes volumineux profitent des recherches entreprises pour la publication des Œuvres complètes et en sont le complément nécessaire.
