About this book

A critical edition of Fougeret de Monbron’s Le Cosmopolite, ou le citoyen du monde (1750). The introductory notes focus on the links to Voltaire’s Candide and show how Monbron’s cynical memoirs combined with another important narrative source of Candide, La Place’s Histoire de Tom Jones, ou l’enfant trouvé (1750).
