Voltaire As An Historian Of Seventeenth-Century French Drama is a scholarly work by Robert Lowenstein that explores the historical and critical perspectives of the famous French philosopher and writer, Voltaire, on the drama of the 17th century in France. The book provides an in-depth analysis of Voltaire's views on the works of playwrights such as Corneille, Racine, and Moliere, and their impact on French literature and culture. Lowenstein examines Voltaire's critical writings, including his letters, essays, and prefaces, to understand his approach to the study of drama and his contribution to the field of literary criticism. The book also sheds light on the historical context in which these works were produced, including the political and social factors that influenced the development of French drama. Overall, Voltaire As An Historian Of Seventeenth-Century French Drama is a valuable resource for scholars and students of French literature, history, and culture, as well as anyone interested in the intellectual legacy of Voltaire.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
