The play depicts Harold’s struggle to maintain his power and protect his kingdom, as well as his personal relationships with his wife, Edith, and his brother, Tostig. Throughout the play, Tennyson explores themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the struggle for power. The play is written in blank verse and is divided into five acts. It was first performed in 1876 and has since become a classic of English literature.1877. Poet of the Victorian age, who succeeded Wordsworth as Poet Laureate.
