La Henriade is an epic poem in ten cantos by Voltaire, first published in 1723. Written in French, it celebrates the life of Henry IV, King of France. Voltaire aimed to create a national epic that would glorify France and promote ideals of tolerance and reason. The poem recounts Henry IV's struggles during the French Wars of Religion and his ultimate triumph in bringing peace and unity to the nation.
This edition includes the Dissertation sur la mort d'Henri IV, offering Voltaire's reflections on the king's assassination and its implications for France. La Henriade remains a significant work in French literature, reflecting Voltaire's philosophical and political views and his contribution to the Enlightenment era.
