Short biography
François-Marie Arouet, who used the pen name Voltaire, was one of the most influential figures of the Enlightenment. Known for his witty and satiric pen, he supported social reform and freedom of thought and religion. He bravely criticized many of the powerful persons and institutions of his day (at times he had to go into exile from France). Voltaire's ideas contributed to both the American and French Revolutions.
Disambiguation notice
Voltaire (1) is the pen name of François-Marie Arouet, the famous French philosopher and satirist. The modern author of "What is Goth?" (Voltaire (2)) also uses this pseudonym in tribute. For Voltaire (1) please do not indiscriminantly combine the various editions of "Collected Works", which are in fact separate collections

Author Disambiguation

How many authors?

Voltaire is currently considered a "single author." If one or more works are by a distinct, homonymous authors, go ahead and split the author.

This entry includes…

Combine with…

What?

Q: What is this feature for/why is it necessary?

A: Because LibraryThing draws from so many different libraries, it can't enforce a single name for a given author. "Also known as" lets LibraryThing users combine author's names easily, so collections match up and everything runs smoothly.

Q: Can I combine with an author not suggested above?

A: Yes you can.

Q: I know an author is separate, but some miscreant, whose high-spirited japery will land him in no end of trouble, keeps combining them!

A: Yes you can.

Look up! Everything in the "Combine with..." section now has a link to "never combine." Use this feature wisely. "Marc Twain" may be idiotic, but misspelling should still be combined. "Mark Twain" and "Edward Gibbon" should not.

Q: What authors have already been slated to "never combine" with this author?

A: No authors.

Q: I am the miscreant and I'm right!

A: Take it to the Combiners group.

Q: What if the disambiguation notice is wrong?

A: Go ahead and edit it.
