Henriade is an epic poem written by Voltaire in 1732. It consists of ten cantos and tells the story of King Henry IV of France and his struggle to unite the country and establish religious tolerance. The poem is written in rhymed couplets and is a tribute to the king and his accomplishments. It also serves as a critique of the French monarchy and the Catholic Church. The poem is filled with historical references, philosophical musings, and vivid descriptions of battles and political intrigue. Henriade was one of Voltaire's most popular works during his lifetime and is considered a masterpiece of French literature. It is a testament to the power of poetry to inspire and provoke thought about the world around us.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.
