Book Overview
""Alexander The Great: A Dramatic Poem"" is a literary work written by Aubrey De Vere and published in 1874. The book is a poetic retelling of the life and conquests of Alexander the Great, the famous Macedonian king who conquered much of the known world in the 4th century BC. The poem is divided into five acts, each depicting a different stage of Alexander's life, from his childhood and early training under Aristotle, to his rise to power as king of Macedon, and his subsequent conquests of Persia, Egypt, and India. Throughout the poem, De Vere explores Alexander's complex personality, his ambition, his military strategies, and his ultimate downfall. The book is written in a lyrical style, with vivid descriptions of battles, landscapes, and characters, and is considered a classic example of Victorian-era poetry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
