Summary
Also known as the Lettres anglaises ou philosophiques, Voltaire’s response to his exile in England offered the French public of 1734 a panoramic view of British culture. Perceiving them as a veiled attack against the ancien regime, however, the French government ordered the letters burned and Voltaire persecuted.
