Reviews

Thomas Wynn, French Studies 68.2 (2014): "Myrtille Méricam-Bourdet’s exemplary introduction to the Défense de Louis XIV considers Voltaire’s complex response to the Physiocrats, who contested the mercantilist policies practised by Colbert. She convincingly argues that Voltaire’s unoriginal and partial historical analysis (often in contradiction to his other writings) gives way to an ad hominem polemic that failed to sway his contemporary readers."
