La Henriade itself was consciously developed as a national epic for France in the mould of Virgil and Homer. For his hero Voltaire selected the religious moderate Henry IV celebrating his efforts to balance Protestant and Catholic interests. The work was first published in 1723 but despite the 1728 subscription edition the first translation into English did not appear until 1732. Octavo 161 x 104 mm pp. xx 245 1 99 1.
