Peter the Great and His Changing Identity Senior History Honors Thesis May 11, 2016 Emiley Pagrabs Pagrabs 1 Introduction Well aware of the perception that foreigners held of him, Peter the Great would never apologize for his nationality or his country. A product of his upbringing, Peter did have some qualities that many foreigners criticized as barbaric and harsh. Said Peter: They say that I am cruel; that is what foreigners think of me, but who are they to judge? They do not know what the situation was at the beginning of my reign, and how many were opposed to my plans, and brought about the failure of projects which would have been of great benefit to my country obliging me to arm myself with great severity; but I have never been cruel…I have always asked for the cooperation of those of my subjects in whom I have perceived intelligence and patriotism, and who, agreeing with my views, were ready to support them.1 Essentially, Peter I was simply a Russian.

    FRANÇOIS MARIE AROUET DE VOLTAIRE (1694-1778) Author: George Saintsbury, D.C.L., LL.D

    FRANÇOIS MARIE AROUET DE VOLTAIRE (1694-1778) Author: George Saintsbury, D.C.L., LL.D. Encyclopedia Britannica (New York 1911) vol. 28: 199-205. Electronic Text edited, modified & paginated by Dr Robert A. Hatch© VOLTAIRE, FRANCOIS MARIE AROUET DE. French philosopher, historian, dramatist and man of letters, whose real name was François Marie Arouet simply, was born on the 21st of November 1694 at Paris, and was baptized the next day. His father was François Arouet, a notary; his mother was Marie Marguerite Daumart or D’Aumard. Both father and mother were of Poitevin extraction, but the Arouets had been for two generations established in Paris, the grandfather being a prosperous tradesman. The family appear to have always belonged to the yeoman-tradesman class; their special home was the town of Saint-Loup. Voltaire was the fifth child of his parents—twin boys (of whom one survived), a girl, Marguerite Catherine, and another boy who died young, having preceded him. Not very much is known of the mother, who died when Voltaire was but seven years old. She pretty certainly was the chief cause of his early introduction to good society, the Abbé de Châteauneuf (his sponsor in more ways than one) having been her friend. The father appears to have been somewhat peremptory in temper, but neither inhospitable nor tyrannical. Marguerite Arouet, of whom her younger brother was very fond, married early, her husbands name being Mignot; the elder brother, Armand, was a strong Jansenist, and there never was any kind of sympathy between him and François. The Abbé do Châteauneuf instructed him early in belles lettres and deism, and he showed when a child the unsurpassed faculty for facile verse-making which always distinguished him.
  • The Age of Louis XIV"

    The Age of Louis XIV"

    Marc Serge Rivière, "The Age of Louis XIV" Marc Serge Rivière THE AGE OF LOUIS XIV: VOLTAIRE'S COMING OF AGE AS A PHILOSOPHER-HISTORIAN In 1994, scholars from all over the world met at congresses in Paris, Oxford, Melbourne and other centres of learning to celebrate the tercentenary of Voltaire's birth. Although there is some doubt as to the exact date of his birth, we know that he was baptized in November 1694. It is accordingly fitting now to reflect on Voltaire's achievements as a historian, for he regarded himself first as a dramatist, next as a historian and last as an essayist and a Conteur, even if he is fondly remembered nowadays as the author of Candide. Voltaire's documentation for his historical works was impressive. In this.respect, The Age of Louis XIV (1751) has as sound a basis as could be expected in its day, and its author has been deemed to be the father of modern "scientific" history. 1 What emerges from a study of the sources utilised for The Age of Louis XIV is that, although Voltaire scorned erudite working habits, in so far as he excluded documents such as extracts of treatises and gave few references, he clearly took his duty as a historian with a degree of seriousness equalled amongst his French contemporaries only by Montesquieu. He was fully aware that his com- petence in historiography would be judged first and foremost on the reliability of his evidence and on the degree of accuracy which he would achieve. Although The Age of Louis XIV did not occupy him exclusively, he sought for about twenty years or so (1732-1751), to add to the data and material which he had begun to gather as early as the late 1720s.

A propósito de la Histoire de Charles XII Voltaire historian. About the Histoire de Charles XII Adrián Ratto* Resumen: La Histoire de Charles XII, roi de Suède (1731) es un texto a menudo desvalorizado por los especialistas en los trabajos históricos e historiográficos de Voltaire, en la medida en que ven en él una obra menor, que se encontraría más cerca de la Henriade, el poema épico que el filósofo había publicado en 1728 en honor a Enrique IV, que de sus grandes trabajos históricos, el Siècle de Louis XIV (1751) y el Essai sur les mœurs et l’esprit des nations (1756). El objetivo de este trabajo es demostrar que la Histoire de Charles XII anticipa, a pesar de ser uno de los primeros escritos históricos de Voltaire, el método que utilizaría a partir de los años 40 en sus obras mayores. Además, el texto pone de relieve la existencia de cierta distancia entre el programa que el filósofo se propone ejecutar en el escrito y su materialización.

    Voltaire Candide

    VOLTAIRE CANDIDE Introduction Chronology French – English parallel text Notes Glossary Further Reading and Links [The word NOTE in the French text indicates a crux of translation that is explored further in the Notes that follow the text. Voltaire at the age of 24, by Catherine Lusurier, after Nicolas de Largillière’s painting. A star (*) in the English version indicates the name of a person or place, identified further in the Glossary at the end of the translation. In both cases, click on NOTE or the star to be taken to the relevant discussion, and then on RETURN to come back to the text.] © tclt.org.uk 2010 INTRODUCTION There can be few, if any, writers whose achievement has been profound and various enough as to result in their name being connected with an entire literary period, with one of the stations on the Paris Métro, with a celebrated American musical, with a famous racehorse, and with a Gothic rock band. The writer in question is, of course, Voltaire, who over the course of a long life from 1694 to 1778 came to dominate not only French but also European culture, to the extent that the 18th century Age of Enlightenment is often, and justifiably, referred to as the Age of Voltaire. Even at first meeting, what is at once apparent is the astonishing breadth of his cultural interests and literary skills. He wrote prolifically, producing works in practically every literary form: major poems, essays, between fifty and sixty plays, works of history and philosophy and science, political tracts against slavery and social injustice, in addition to more than 20,000 letters and countless pamphlets.

    The History of Peter the Great, Emperor of Russia

    The History Of Peter The Great, Emperor Of Russia By Voltaire The History Of Peter The Great, Emperor Of Russia CHAPTER I. DESCRIPTION OF RUSSIA. The empire of Russia is the largest in the whole globe, extending from west to east upwards of two thousand common leagues of France, and about eight hundred in its greatest breadth from north to south. It borders upon Poland and the Frozen Sea, and joins to Sweden and China. Its length from the island of Dago, in the westernmost part of Livonia, to its most eastern limits, takes in near one hundred and seventy degrees, so that when it is noon in the western parts of the empire, it is nearly midnight in the eastern. Its breadth from north to south is three thousand six hundred wersts, which make eight hundred and fifty of our common French leagues. The limits of this country were so little known in the last century, that, in 1689, when it was reported, that the Chinese and the Russians were at war, and that in order to terminate their differences, the emperor Camhi on the one hand, and the czars Ivan or John, and Peter, on the other, had sent their ministers to meet an embassy within three hundred leagues of Pekin, on the frontiers of the two empires, the account was at first treated as a fiction. The country now comprehended under the name of Russia, or the Russias, is of a greater extent than all the rest of Europe, or than ever the Roman empire was, or that of Darius subdued by Alexander; for it contains upwards of one million one hundred thousand square leagues.
