The work focuses on the reign of Louis XIV of France, effectively presenting a detailed narrative of the political, cultural, and social developments during this significant period in French history. Through the lens of his characteristic wit, Voltaire delves into the complexities of power, artistry, and governance under the “Sun King,” providing a rich exploration of the era's notable figures. The opening portion introduces the work with an overview of its genesis and subsequent editions. Voltaire began contemplating this historical essay in the early 18th century, publishing portions of it over time until the complete work emerged in the 1750s. The text elaborates on various edits and translations, along with the controversies that surrounded its publication, reflecting on both Voltaire’s meticulousness in crafting his narrative and the scholarly attention to his observations on history, literature, and politics from Louis XIV's era. A list of significant figures, including family members of the king and other contemporary rulers, sets the stage for a broader understanding of the context in which Louis XIV's reign unfolded.
