Extended information:
Voltaire’s literary views and tastes basically inherited the legacy of 17th-century classicism, which is mainly reflected in his poetry and tragedy creations. His epic poem "Henriade" (1728) is based on the religious wars in France in the 16th century. It tells the story of Henry IV of the Bourbon Dynasty who ascended the throne after winning the civil war and issued the Nantes Amnesty to protect the freedom of belief of Protestants. .
In the epic, Henry IV is praised as an example of an enlightened monarch. Voltaire's philosophical poems are thorough in reasoning, and his satirical poems are witty and unique.
Voltaire was mainly engaged in drama creation throughout his life and wrote more than 50 plays, most of which were tragedies. The most valuable of his literary works are philosophical novels. This is a new genre he created, using a joking tone to tell absurd stories, alluding to and satirizing reality, and elucidating profound philosophies.
