Brutus The Trojan, Founder Of The British Empire: An Epic Poem (1735) is a literary work penned by Jacob Hildebrand. It is an epic poem that tells the story of Brutus, a Trojan prince who founded the British Empire. The poem is set in ancient times and takes the reader on a journey through the life of Brutus, from his birth to his death. The poem is divided into twelve books, each of which tells a different part of Brutus’s story. It begins with the fall of Troy and the journey of Brutus and his followers to the island of Albion (Britain). The poem then describes how Brutus defeated the giants who inhabited the island and established his kingdom. As the story progresses, the reader is introduced to a cast of characters, including the goddess Diana, who helps Brutus in his quest, and the evil sorcerer Gogmagog, who seeks to destroy him. The poem also explores themes of love, loyalty, and betrayal, as Brutus’s wife and son turn against him.Throughout the poem, Hildebrand uses vivid imagery and descriptive language to bring the story to life. He also incorporates elements of classical mythology and history, making the poem both entertaining and informative. Overall, Brutus The Trojan, Founder Of The British Empire: An Epic Poem (1735) is a classic work of literature that offers a unique perspective on the founding of Britain. It is a must-read for anyone interested in epic poetry, mythology, or British history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
