About the book

Voltaire's writings on England examine the political, religious and intellectual life of eighteenth-century Britain. He discusses religious tolerance, parliamentary government, science and figures such as Isaac Newton and John Locke. By comparing English institutions with those of France, Voltaire uses observation and irony to question political and religious authority.
