François Marie Arouet, dit Voltaire, (1694-1778), né à Paris, est un écrivain et philosophe français. Il est admis à l'Académie française en 1746. Il commence ses études en 1704 au collège Louis-le-Grand dirigé par les Jésuites. Il y fait de brillantes études de rhétorique et de philosophie, obtient des premiers prix. Tout en étant fort critique des Jésuites, il garda toute sa vie une grande admiration pour ses professeurs et les grandes entreprises missionnaires de la Compagnie de Jésus, en Chine et au Paraguay. Vers 1706, il compose une tragédie Amulius et Numitor; on en trouvera plus tard des extraits qui seront publiés au XIXe siècle. Après sa classe de philosophie, il quitte le collège en 1711 pour s'inscrire à l'école de droit de Paris. Voltaire a mené une carrière d'homme de lettres que ce soit dans le domaine de la poésie ou dans celui du théâtre. Parmi la soixantaine de pièces qu'il écrivit, l'histoire littéraire a retenu notamment Zaïre (1732), Adélaïde du Guesclin (1734) et Alzir; ou, Les Américains (1736).
