Download or read book Idylls of the King Poems Concerning the Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table Complete and Unabridged Hardcover written by Lord Alfred Tennyson and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-08-28 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Idylls of the King is Lord Tennyson's epic retelling of the Arthurian legend through twelve lengthy poems, depicting Arthur, his Knights, Queen Guinevere, and the mythic kingdom. Published between the years 1859 and 1885, Idylls of the King is arguably Tennyson's greatest work. Based chiefly from authoritative sources such as Mallory's Le Morte d'Arthur and the Mabinogion, Tennyson would expand upon and alter the legendary canon in order to fit the narration he sought to convey. The twelve idylls are all written in blank verse, and for their references to movements dated after his sources (Romanticism and Gothic architecture in particular) Tennyson's work may also be read as allegorical to the lofty ideals of the Victorian era. This edition presents the poetry in an attractive, columned format, complete with a table of contents for ease of reference.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tennyson had a life-long interest in the legend of King Arthur and after the huge success of his poem 'Morte d'Arthur' he built on the theme with this series of twelve poems, written in two periods of intense creativity over nearly twenty years. Idylls of the King traces the story of Arthur's rule, from his first encounter with Guinevere and the quest for the Holy Grail to the adultery of his Queen with Launcelot and the King's death in a final battle that spells the ruin of his kingdom. Told with lyrical and dreamlike eloquence, Tennyson's depiction of the Round Table reflects a longing for a past age of valour and chivalry. And in his depiction of King Arthur he created a hero imbued with the values of the Victorian age - one who embodies the highest ideals of manhood and kingship.

Book excerpt: A cycle of twelve narrative poems, "Idylls of the King" is Alfred Tennyson's classic 19th century retelling of Arthurian legend. Linked by their common focus, these poems relate the stories of King Arthur's ascent to power, quest to create a perfect kingdom, and his eventual defeat. Included in this epic work are the stories of Arthur's love for Guinevere, their marriage, and her betrayal. Much of the work is also devoted to the exploits of the knights of the round table as well as the involvement of the wizard Merlin. Tennyson relied heavily on previous Arthurian works including Sir Thomas Malory's "Le Morte d'Arthur", which was first published in 1485, and the "Mabinogion", one of the earliest prose stories of Britain, one based on older oral traditions, written during the 12th century. However, "Idylls of the King" is not merely a retelling of the same stories of these previous works, but rather an expansion of the legend and an effort to bring the concerns and values of Victorian England to these timeless tales. Tennyson's poems are a complex, beautiful, and thoughtful addition to the genre of Arthurian literature. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. The whole work recounts Arthur's attempt and failure to lift up mankind and create a perfect kingdom, from his coming to power to his death at the hands of the traitor Mordred. Individual poems detail the deeds of various knights, including Lancelot, Geraint, Galahad, and Balin and Balan, and also Merlin and the Lady of the Lake. There is little transition between Idylls, but the central figure of Arthur links all the stories. The poems were dedicated to the late Albert, Prince Consort. The Idylls are written in blank verse. Tennyson's descriptions of nature are derived from observations of his own surroundings, collected over the course of many years. The dramatic narratives are not an epic either in structure or tone, but derive elegiac sadness in the style of the idylls of Theocritus. Idylls of the King is often read as an allegory of the societal conflicts in Britain during the mid-Victorian era.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alfred Lord Tennyson was a 19th century Poet Laureate in the United Kingdom who is recognized as one of the greatest poets of modern times. A few of his more famous poems are "The Charge of the Light Brigade," "Tears, idle tears" and "Crossing the Bar." Much of his work is based on mythology. "With regal melancholy and superb craftsmanship, Tennyson's poems evoke Past and Present-the Isle of the Lotos-eaters, Camelot, and his own twilit English gardens. seeking to reconcile the Victorian zeal for public progress with private despair. He juxtaposes opposites - not only Past and Present, but also Beauty and Squalor, High Class and Low - and then entwines them, allowing his work to transcend its own achievements and intentions. Using eloquence, epic grandeur, and myth, [he] created the masterful style most imitated by poets of his era. And his haunting, rhapsodic poems, detailing the struggles of kings and commoners, still cast their lyrical spell today." From the back cover.

Book excerpt: The cycle of narrative poems known as "Idylls of the King" was written by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, one of the most renowned writers of the Victorian period. The collection depicts the ascent and fall of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table in a retelling of the Arthurian tales. The Victorian beliefs and concerns are reflected in Tennyson's interpretation of the Arthurian stories, which he uses as a background for reflection on current social and moral problems. The poems in "Idylls of the King" are organized more as a succession of related events than in a precise chronological order. Both "The Coming of Arthur," which portrays Arthur as a youthful and idealistic monarch, and "The Passing of Arthur," which details his dying moments and the breakup of the Round Table, are among them. Tennyson examines the depths of human nature as well as the shortcomings and foibles of his characters throughout the book. The "Idylls of the King" are regarded as one of Tennyson's best works and an important addition to English literature. The spirit of chivalry, honor, and the pursuit of lofty goals in the face of human frailty are captured in this timeless interpretation of the Arthurian stories.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Idylls are a series of twelve long blank verse poems by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, telling the tale of Arthur and his round table. While some of them are stories of adventure and daring of the kind you’d expect from an Arthurian epic, many take on a darker tone, relating how Arthur was betrayed and how his kingdom grew decadent and eventually fell. The poems stand on their own as carefully-constructed and masterful examples of long-form blank-verse poetry, and they’re engaging to read strictly as tales of knighthood and intrigue—but many also read the Idylls as allegorical references to Victorian societal mores.
