Idols of the King

null
Book •
Idylls of the King, by Alfred Lord Tennyson, is a cycle of twelve narrative poems that retells the legend of King Arthur, his knights, his love for Guinevere and her tragic betrayal, and the ultimate downfall of his kingdom.

Published between 1859 and 1885, the Idylls use Arthurian legend to explore themes of morality, spirituality, and the decline of ideals in the face of human weakness.

Tennyson's work reflects Victorian values and concerns, offering a complex and often melancholic vision of the Arthurian world.
