Voltaire and the Century of Light
Published in Hardcover by Princeton Univ Pr (December, 1975)
Author: Alfred Owen Aldridge
Amazon base price: $67.50
Used price: $69.95
Average review score:

Very good
This is one of the better biographies of Voltaire, and would be useful to those who have never studied the man and those who are quite familar with him. In addition to providing a fairly thorough outline of the events of Voltaire's life (it would require a massive, multivolume work for a complete picture of the man), this book also properly puts Voltaire in the context of the 18th Century Enlightenment, of which he was the brightest light.
While highly-researched and scholarly, it is also very readable and does not descend into the pedantic writing style so many academics are guilty of. Both the professional scholar and the interested layperson would find this work valuable.
