Stressing Voltaire's life and work as an individual, Bettina L. Knapp paints a vivid picture of Voltaire as a "freedom fighter" and a "Promethean." She presents a discussion of the purely philosophical texts, and questions of free will, religion, and faith. She shows how Voltaire's admiration for the English and their form of government influenced his later work.
