The Invincible Island, A Poem

The Invincible Island is a poem written by Percival Stockdale in 1797, with an introduction that discusses the ongoing war at the time. The poem itself is an allegorical tale that tells the story of an island that is impervious to attack and invasion. The island is ruled by a wise and just queen, who is able to maintain peace and prosperity for her people. However, the island is eventually threatened by an invading army, and the queen must rally her forces to defend their home. The poem is a commentary on the importance of strength, resilience, and unity in the face of adversity, and it also explores themes of leadership, patriotism, and the horrors of war. Stockdale's introductory observations provide historical context for the poem and offer insights into the political and social climate of the time. Overall, The Invincible Island is a powerful and thought-provoking work that continues to resonate with readers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
