Drake: An English Epic, Books I-XII is a historical poem written by Alfred Noyes that tells the story of Sir Francis Drake, an English navigator and explorer who lived during the 16th century. The epic is divided into twelve books and covers Drake's life from his early days as a sailor to his famous circumnavigation of the world.The poem is written in a grand and epic style, with vivid descriptions of battles, storms, and exotic locations. Noyes also explores the character of Drake, portraying him as a complex figure who is both heroic and flawed. The epic also touches on themes such as patriotism, imperialism, and the clash of cultures.Overall, Drake: An English Epic, Books I-XII is a sweeping and engaging work of literature that brings to life one of England's most famous historical figures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
