Le Nouveau Dictionnaire historique (a supplement to Bayle) devoted, in 1756, no less than six pages to an article on Shakespeare, and the authors of the Encyclopédie mentioned him repeatedly. It was thus no wonder that a few bold spirits had even the temerity to prefer Shakespeare to Corneille. Such, at least, was the implication in an anonymous article, professedly translated from the English, entitled “Parallèle entre Shakespear et Corneille,” which appeared in Le Journal Encyclopédique in 1760. This article, together with a second one in which Otway was held up as superior to Racine, offended Voltaire deeply; he felt that the honour of France must be vindicated at all costs, and, in the following year, he launched his Appel à toutes les Nations de l’Europe. This “appeal” does not appear, however, either then or in 1764, when it was republished under the pseudonym of “Jérôme Carrée,” to have awakened any widespread desire among the nations to bring the rival poets before a French tribunal of Voltaire’s making.

Meghan McMullen and Precious Edosa are some fit birds that should not be underestimated, though Cockroach Paradise also has appeal
