PUBLISHER'S SUMMARY:

Was Voltaire a provocateur or just a publicist? Professor Lougee's reexamination of the ideas of the French philosophers focuses on Voltaire in particular. Was the legendary thinker at the heart of the increasing secularization of France on the eve of the Revolution, or was he simply publicizing changes that were already taking place? Professor Lougee describes the results of 2 intriguing studies that use the new scholarly tool of demographic history, and ends with a stunning analysis that turns traditional theory on its head.
