His controversial pronouncements on politics, philosophy, religion, and literature have placed the \u003cem\u003eLetters\u003c\/em\u003e among the great Augustan satires.\u003cbr\u003e Voltaire wrote most of the book in English, in which he was fluent and witty, and it fast became a bestseller in Britain. He re-wrote it in French as the \u003cem\u003eLettres Philosophiques\u003c\/em\u003e, and current editions in English translate his French. This edition restores for the modern reader Voltaire's own English text, allowing us to appreciate him as a stylist at first hand. It is the only critical edition of the original text and, as well as providing an introduction and notes, it includes intriguing accounts of Voltaire by contemporary English observers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Series: \u003c\/strong\u003eFor over 100 years\u003cstrong\u003e Oxford World's Classics \u003c\/strong\u003ehas made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.
