Blurb: “Idylls of the King, published between 1859 and 1885, is a cycle of twelve narrative poems by the English poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809–1892; Poet Laureate from 1850) which retells the legend of King Arthur, his knights, his love for Guinevere and her tragic betrayal of him, and the rise and fall of Arthur's kingdom.”
From the back of the book: “The legend of King Arthur and his Table. Round has been celebrated by many writers from many lands for many centuries.
Chaucer, Malory, Spenser, Swinburne, and Mark Twain are but a few of the great men of letters who have drawn freely from the rich Arthurian lore.
But no interpretation has surpassed that of Tennyson.
For sheer beauty and power and scope, for matchless imagery and technique, for lofty ideal and noble purpose, Idylls of the King remains unequaled.”
