Voltaire Foundation

We publish definitive critical editions of unrivalled quality, including the flagship Œuvres Complètes de Voltaire (OCV), as well as Oxford University Studies in the Enlightenment, the foremost series devoted to Enlightenment studies across a range of disciplines.

Following on from the finish of OCV in 2022, we are at an exciting turning point for the Voltaire Foundation. Our vision is to become a world-leading, interdisciplinary hub for eighteenth-century studies, and to build world-class expertise in digital publishing and humanities, helping to support young scholars in the area of the Enlightenment.

Your support will help us to attract and retain the best academic talent to undertake groundbreaking research, whilst continuing to foster the scholarly community unique to the Voltaire Foundation, which underpins its reputation for excellence.
