1. David Wooton has very recently assessed the current state of scholarly thinking on Voltaire’s understanding of human liberty. See Wooton (2022). As he notes, the foundational work of Peter Gay (1959 & 1969), René Pomeau (1963), and Ira Wade (1969) have otherwise not been replaced as scholarly foundations, nor have the collections edited by S. Harvey (1994) and D. Williams (1994). See also the work of E.D. James (1978; 1980; 1984; & 1987).
