Anonyme en 1759, Candide est attribué à un certain Monsieur le Docteur Ralph en 1761, à la suite du remaniement du texte par Voltaire. Ce titre ronflant donne tout de suite le ton au lecteur qui pourrait hésiter sur le genre de l'ouvrage: conte ou essai ? Art mineur ou art noble ? L'auteur prend, dès les premières lignes, position contre la noblesse aux titres bien plus ronflants que celui-ci. Et que dire du nom du soi-disant docteur Ralph ? Rien de plus qu'une onomatopée qui ne laisse aucun doute sur le ton de cette oeuvre (voir Thunder-Ten-Tronckh, le château de la situation initiale). Cette oeuvre si ironique dès les premières lignes, ne laisse aucun doute sur l'origine de l'auteur, qui ne pouvait faire partie que des Lumières.
