The Epic of Saul is a historical novel written by William Cleaver Wilkinson and published in 1890. The book tells the story of Saul, the first king of Israel, and his rise to power, his struggles to maintain his position, and his eventual downfall. The novel is set in the ancient Middle East and draws heavily on biblical accounts of Saul's life, as well as other historical sources.The book is divided into several parts, each covering a different period of Saul's life. The first part of the novel focuses on Saul's early years, his selection as king by the prophet Samuel, and his early victories over Israel's enemies. The second part of the book deals with Saul's growing paranoia and his attempts to eliminate his rivals, including his own son Jonathan. The third part of the novel covers Saul's final battle against the Philistines and his eventual suicide.Throughout the book, Wilkinson explores themes of power, ambition, and the corrupting influence of absolute authority. He also delves into the complex relationships between Saul and his family, his advisors, and his enemies. The Epic of Saul is a vivid and engaging retelling of one of the most fascinating stories in the Bible, and it offers readers a unique perspective on the life and times of one of the great figures of the ancient world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
