Pierre Conlon

Dr. Conlon, a graduate of Auckland and Paris, has taught at Birmingham, Wellington, Yale and McMaster, and is internationally known for his books and articles on 18th century French literature. He is a world authority on Voltaire. Former pupils in high academic posts on three continents and an invitation to be a principal speaker at the 1967 international conference on the Enlightenment at St. Andrews are eloquent tributes to his scholarship. His "Siècle des lumières" (Geneva, 1983 -in progress) is recognized internationally as a standard work on the subject.
