Download or read book Voltaire s Correspondence written by Deidre Dawson and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1994 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Voltaire's massive correspondence has been a goldmine for historians, biographers and literary scholars since the eighteenth century, but it has often been valued merely as a key to understanding his other works, rather than as a literary text in its own right. This study shows clearly and persuasively that Voltaire's personal letters merit inclusion among his major literary works. It begins by discussing the evolution of fictional writing and letter writing throughout the early history of western literature in the light of recent theories of epistolarity. The author then examines Voltaire's correspondence with his mistress Madame Denis, with the Tronchin family of Geneva, and with the encyclopédiste Jean le Rond d'Alembert, to conclude that Voltaire's correspondence is perhaps his greatest work of fiction: an epistolary novel of which Voltaire himself is the central character.

Excerpt: ... then, not also add to what is called our liberty? There is no one of our senses or our powers which has not been helped by effort. Why should liberty be the only one of man's attributes which he cannot increase? Suppose, for instance, we see round us trees hung with a delicious but poisoned fruit, which a raging hunger incites us to pick: if we feel ourselves too weak to abstain, let us go (and going depends on ourselves) to places where there are no such fruits. These are counsels which, like so many others, are no doubt easier to give than to follow: but we are in the presence of a disease wherein the patient must minister to himself. X CONSOLING A FAILURE To Mdlle. Dangeville [Written after the production of Voltaire's Roman tragedy Brutus, in which the youthful Mdlle. Dangeville played, very badly, the important part of Tullie. No other playwright, surely, --not even another Frenchman, --ever reassured a timid ingenue who had spoilt his piece with more delicacy and consideration.] December, 1731. Prodigy, allow me to present you with a copy of the Henriade--a very serious work for your age--but she who can play Tullie cannot be incapable of serious reading, and it is only right that I should lay my works at the feet of her who bestows her beauty on them. I thought I was going to die this evening, and am, truly, very ill: otherwise I should have offered you thanks and homage for the honour you did me to-day. The piece is unworthy of you: but you must remember what laurels you will win in endowing my Tullie with your graces. It will owe its success to you. But to achieve that success you must not hurry any of your lines; you must lighten them, add pathos to declamation, and be sure to take plenty of time. Above all, put all your...

Download or read book Voltaire s Correspondence written by Nicholas Cronk and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-31 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Voltaire's correspondence has been described as his 'greatest masterpiece' - but if it is, it is also his least studied. One of the most prodigious correspondences in Western literature, it poses significant interpretative challenges to the critic and reader alike. Considered individually, the letters present a series of complex, subtle, and playful literary performances; taken together, they constitute a formidable, and even forbidding, ensemble. How can modern readers even attempt to understand such an imposing work? This Element addresses this question through the use of digital reading methods and resources that enhance our understanding of this complex literary object and its relationship to Voltaire's more canonical literary output, and indeed to the Enlightenment world at large. Nicholas Cronk and Glenn Roe provide scholars and students with new pathways into this particular corpus, using tools and approaches that can then be applied to correspondences and life-writing texts in all languages and periods.
