Despite its importance in Voltaire's oeuvre, and the massive success it enjoyed in the eighteenth century, Voltaire's epic poem La Henriade has frequently been overlooked by critics. This historic critical edition, by O. R. Taylor, first published in 1970, includes a book-length introduction to the poem, with a full treatment of its conception, composition, publishing history and later influence. It also reprints Voltaire's various prefaces, notes and paratexts on the poem, all of which reflect in very different ways the author's view on his poetic masterpiece.

J. H. Brumfitt, French Studies 21.1 (1967): "This is one of the key works of Voltaire and the need for a good edition of it has long been felt. We should be grateful to Dr Taylor for at last providing us with one. [...] A most perceptive and thorough piece of work. Indeed, some of the minor criticisms one may make of it result precisely from its thoroughness. [...] As far as La Henriade itself is concerned, there are very few [non-peripheral questions] to which this scholarly edition does not contain the answer."
