A sweeping poetic cycle retelling the rise and fall of King Arthur’s realm, this volume explores timeless themes through richly imagined verse. Each idyll examines a different episode of the myth, from heroic quests to tragic downfalls, all filtered through a Victorian moral lens. At once romantic and elegiac, it is a powerful meditation on the tension between noble ideals and flawed humanity.Alfred Lord Tennyson (1809-1892) was Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom during much of Queen Victoria’s reign and remains one of the most popular poets in the English language. Idylls of the King, is a cycle of twelve narrative poems retelling the legend of King Arthur.
