This volume brings together works substantially composed in the years 1723 - 1728, a period of bold experimentation for the thirty-year-old Voltaire. An established tragedian, he now branched out in a wholly new direction with his one-act comedy, "L'Indiscret", performed for the first time in August 1725. This is also the period in which, for the first time, Voltaire began to conceive substantial works in prose.
