Chamfort Devant la Postérité, 1794-1984

John Renwick, Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, the John Orr Professor of French (Edinburgh University, 1980-2006), long collaborated with the Voltaire Foundation (1970-2022), producing for the OCV numerous editions. In parallel he worked to secure a re-evaluation of Jean-François Marmontel (1723-1799) : in March 2021, he was awarded the Prix littéraire Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes de la Francophonie for his ‘pioneering rehabilitation’ of Jean-François Marmontel; in July 2021, he was awarded the Royal Society of Edinburgh’s Senior Career Medal (the Sir Walter Scott Medal) for his ‘monumental and ground-breaking’ contribution to the critical edition of the OCV’ and his key role in the ‘resurrection of the highly significant figure, Jean-François Marmontel’.
