Description
Voltaire in Love tells the story of an extraordinary romance between two influential figures of 18th-century France. In 1733, Marquise du Chatelet began her affair with Francois-Marie Arouet, a philosopher known as Voltaire.
Their relationship was marked by periods of study and intellectual pursuits in the countryside, as well as their time spent evading censorship and navigating the complexities of high society. Mitford's engaging portrayal of this fascinating era and its key figures offers a unique insight into the lives of two remarkable individuals.
