Henriade is an epic poem written by the famous French philosopher and writer, Voltaire. It was first published in 1723, and then revised and expanded in 1732. The poem is divided into ten cantos, each of which tells a different part of the story of King Henry IV of France.The poem begins with Henry’s childhood and the events that led to his ascension to the throne. It then follows his reign and the various challenges he faced, including wars and political intrigue. Throughout the poem, Voltaire portrays Henry as a heroic figure, a just and wise ruler who works tirelessly to improve the lives of his people.In addition to its historical and political themes, Henriade also explores philosophical and religious ideas. Voltaire uses the poem to critique the religious intolerance and superstition of his time, and to promote the values of reason and tolerance.Henriade is considered one of Voltaire’s most important works, and is often cited as a masterpiece of French literature. Its influence can be seen in later works of French literature, such as Victor Hugo’s Les Mis�����rables.To Which Are Now Added, The Argument To Each Canto, And Large Notes, Historical And Critical.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
