Voltaire's "La Mort de Cesar": A Play "Entirely in the English Taste"? - Comparatisme et Societe / Comparatism and Society
Helena Agarez Medeiros
This book examines Voltaire's claim that La Mort de Cesar is "in the English taste". It presents the results of an inquiry into the formation of the stereotype "English taste" and an analysis of the play that determines the pertinence of such a label. It also scrutinizes the English adaptation of Voltaire's play: Aaron Hill's The Roman Revenge.
