Book Description
Excerpt from Voltaire, Vol. 21: The Henriade, Letters and Miscellanies; Part I The poem was a brilliant protest against intolerance by the powers of Church and State. How, then, could itself be tolerated? The privilege of publication was denied. By the help of friends it was secretly printed in Rouen in 1724. It was smuggled into Paris and had an instant success, as a wonderful work, a masterpiece of the mind, as beautiful as Virgil. It has had a lasting popularity in seven languages. The English edition appeared in 1728 as the first edition published with the author's sanction. This time the author dedicated The Henriade to Queen Caroline, whose husband had been one year king of Eng land. She had been the friend of Sir Isaac Newton when Princess of Wales.
