"Artémire" playwright (8)

I believe the answer is:

voltaire

(Other definitions for voltaire that I've seen before include "French writer (Candide)" , "French author of Candide, d. 1778" , "French satirist" , "French writer/philosopher" , "Candide satirist" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
