Tennyson was under great pressure to compose a long poem on an epic theme, and it was only natural for him to have selected as his subject the figure who would arouse strong sentiments of patriotism, pride, and admiration in the hearts of all Englishmen. The Arthurian legends have always had a firm hold on the English imagination, due to the heroic and evocative picture of the British past which they present. The tales about King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, from which Tennyson drew the inspiration and substance of his Idylls, form an extensive body of medieval literature. The poem is difficult in parts, as many worthwhile books are, but reading it will be a rewarding and inspiring experience. The Idylls of the King deals with an exciting era in English history and with such fascinating and familiar characters as King Arthur, Guinevere, Sir Lancelot, and the other Knights of the Round Table. The Idylls of the King is one of his best-known compositions and has much of lasting value to offer the reader. Alfred, Lord Tennyson was the most important poet of the Victorian period, and his works include some of the finest poetry in the English language. ![]() |
