{"product_id":"voltaires-correspondence-nicholas-cronk-9781108791724","title":"Voltaire's Correspondence: Digital Readings","description":"Voltaire's correspondence has been described as his 'greatest masterpiece' - but if it is, it is also his least studied. One of the most prodigious correspondences in Western literature, it poses significant interpretative challenges to the critic and reader alike. Considered individually, the letters present a series of complex, subtle, and playful literary performances; taken together, they constitute a formidable, and even forbidding, ensemble. How can modern readers even attempt to understand such an imposing work? This Element addresses this question through the use of digital reading methods and resources that enhance our understanding of this complex literary object and its relationship to Voltaire's more canonical literary output, and indeed to the Enlightenment world at large. Nicholas Cronk and Glenn Roe provide scholars and students with new pathways into this particular corpus, using tools and approaches that can then be applied to correspondences and life-writing texts in all languages and periods.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicholas Cronk, Glenn Roe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108791727\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108791724\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/12\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 75\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.19d","brand":"Nicholas Cronk","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43943383367935,"sku":"9781108791724","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_295012b3-837a-4cf5-846b-b21b9db0d6a8.jpg?v=1681497812","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/voltaires-correspondence-nicholas-cronk-9781108791724","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
