This is also the Oxford launch of The Flemish Merchant of Venice: Daniel Nijs and the Sale of the Gonzaga Art Collection by Christina M. Anderson In 1627-28, Charles I of England purchased the cream of the Gonzaga art collection, belonging to the dukes of Mantua, in what would become the greatest art deal of the 17th century. Among the treasures sold were ancient statues and stunning paintings by Titian, Raphael, Correggio, and Rubens. The Flemish Merchant of Venice examines this fascinating and significant art sale from the perspective of the man who orchestrated it—Daniel Nijs (1572–1647), a Flemish merchant, collector, and dealer living in Venice. Christina Anderson asserts that he was more than the avaricious and unscrupulous trader that most modern writers and scholars deem him to be. Through describing Nijs’s unique talent as a dealer, rooted in superior commercial skills, connections to artistic and diplomatic circles, and a deep love of art, she reveals that Nijs was the pivotal figure involved with the Gonzaga sale, though also—when he later fell into bankruptcy and dishonour due to a deal gone awry—the most tragic. Christina Anderson is a British Academy postdoctoral fellow in the History Faculty at the University of Oxford. She is also the Research Fellow in the Study of Collecting at the Ashmolean Museum. Her book, copies of which will be available at the lecture, is published by Yale University Press.

  • Candide and Other Stories (Oxford World's Classics)
    oxford world’ s classics CANDIDE and other stories Voltaire was the assumed name of François-Marie Arouet (1694– 1778). Born into a well-to-do Parisian family, he was educated at the leading Jesuit college in Paris. Having refused to follow his father and elder brother into the legal profession he soon won widespread acclaim for Œdipe (1718), the first of some twenty-seven tragedies which he continued to write until the end of his life. His national epic La Henriade (1723) confirmed his reputation as the leading French literary figure of his generation. Following a quarrel with the worthless but influential aristocrat, the Chevalier de Rohan, he was forced into exile in England. This period (1726–8) was particularly formative, and his Letters concern- ing the English Nation (1733) constitute the first major expression of Voltaire’s deism and his subsequent lifelong opposition to religious and political oppression. Following the happy years (1734–43) spent at Cirey with his mistress Mme du Châtelet in the shared pursuit of several intellectual enthusiasms, notably the work of Isaac Newton, he enjoyed a brief interval of favour at court during which he was appointed Historiographer to the King. After the death of Mme du Châtelet in 1749 he finally accepted an invitation to the court of Frederick of Prussia, but left in 1753 when life with this particular enlightened despot became intolerable. In 1755, after temporary sojourn in Colmar, he settled at Les Délices on the outskirts of Geneva. He then moved to nearby Ferney in 1759, the year Candide was published.

  • Literary Criticism (1400-1800): Candide, Voltaire - Arthur Scherr (Essay Date Spring 1993)
    Literary Criticism (1400-1800): Candide, Voltaire - Arthur Scherr (essay date spring 1993) Candide, Voltaire - Arthur Scherr (essay date spring 1993) ©2011 eNotes.com, Inc. or its Licensors. Please see copyright information at the end of this document. Arthur Scherr (essay date spring 1993) SOURCE: Scherr, Arthur. “Voltaire's Candide: A Tale of Women's Equality.” Midwest Quarterly 34, no. 3 (spring 1993): 261-82. [In the following essay, Scherr lauds Candide as a classic and perennially popular work of literature, and examines its exploration of gender relationships, arguing that the play makes a case for the interdependent nature of male-female relationships.] Candide, Voltaire's great philosophical conte, is undoubtedly among the most popular and perennial of literary works; as such it has received an enormous share of frequently esoteric critical attention. Invariably stressing the climactic final chapter, concluding with Candide's decisive pronouncement, “il faut cultiver notre jardin [we must cultivate our garden],” many interpretations center on the issue of theodicy and the extent to which Voltaire and his protagonist recommend active struggle against evil, oppression, and war rather than isolated, selfish withdrawal from an inhumane society. Though these questions are important, Candide may be read on a parallel level as an examination of gender relationships and as Voltaire's paean to the beauty, common sense, intelligence, and resourcefulness of women. An argument for the moral, intellectual, and physical equality of women and men, interdependent composites of strength and frailty confronting an indifferent, often harsh natural environment and a brutal, indeed malevolent social one, is among its themes. In Voltaire's own life women played a far greater role than men.

  • Traces De Voltaire Et Des Représentations De Ses Œuvres Dans Les Collections De La Comédie-Française Jacqueline Razgonnikoff
    Traces de Voltaire et des représentations de ses œuvres dans les collections de la Comédie-Française Jacqueline Razgonnikoff Que Voltaire ait dominé la scène française pendant presque un siècle ne fait aucun doute. La Comédie-Française, qu’il qualifiait avec une pointe de mépris de « tripot comique »1, a été son pré carré de 1718 à 1778. Même de son lointain exil, il tirait les fils des plus talentueuses marionnettes de son temps, les Lekain, les Clairon, qu’il recevait chez lui avec les plus grands égards, leur donnant la réplique avec la conviction qu’il pouvait leur apprendre leur métier. Il résulte de cette domination exceptionnelle que, dans les riches collections de la Comédie-Française, les traces de sa présence et de ses rapports avec la troupe, apparaissent dans toutes les catégories d’archives et de documents iconographiques. Avec un total de 3997 représentations, rien que sur la scène de la Comé- die-Française, depuis la première représentation d’Œdipe en 1718 jusqu’à la dernière de L’Orphelin de la Chine en 1965, Voltaire se situe à la huitième place dans le palmarès des auteurs les plus joués du répertoire, bien qu’il ne figure plus dans la programmation que très sporadiquement au vingtième siècle, et plus du tout au vingt-et-unième. On peut faire le point sur les chif- fres, établissant une sorte de tri sélectif dans l’œuvre du prolifique auteur. Ces chiffres ne sont pas sans signification, non seulement sur les qualités littéraires des œuvres en question, mais aussi et surtout sur les préférences et les goûts d’un public qu’on ne peut pas soupçonner de partialité.

Amaside on the conte Le Taureau blanc (1774)' offers remarkable insight into Voltaire's use of the conte as persuasive discourse for two reasons. First, as the pur- est example of the genre among his last contes, it is in many ways the quintessence of his talents as a conteur. This tale does not cover any new ideological territory in its treatment of the Old Testament, a preoccupation found in much of his production of the Ferney period; nor does it introduce any technical innovations.

Even after his death, Voltaire loomed larger than life. The project to establish a Panthéon where France’s “grands hommes” would be honored by “la patrie reconnaissante” was conceived with Voltaire in mind. He was the first man of letters interred there, by order of the National Assembly, in July 1791.5 Voltaire remains a foundational figure in the French literary canon and in the French national imagination, and his works are widely read today.
