The Star-Seer is a poem written by William Dearden and published in 1837. The poem is divided into five cantos and tells the story of a young man named Alroy who possesses the gift of prophecy. Alroy is able to see into the future and predicts the rise and fall of empires and the coming of a great king who will unite the world. The poem is set in ancient times and features a cast of characters including kings, warriors, and seers. The Star-Seer explores themes of destiny, power, and the role of prophecy in shaping human history. The language of the poem is rich and evocative, with vivid descriptions of landscapes, battles, and supernatural visions. The Star-Seer is a work of Romantic poetry that showcases the author’s skill in crafting epic narratives and capturing the imagination of readers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
