Idylls of the King

Více o knize

The narrative poems reimagine the Arthurian legend through a Victorian lens, blending medieval themes with contemporary ideals. Tennyson's use of blank verse and elegiac tone enriches the storytelling, drawing from sources like Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur and the Mabinogion. This work not only reflects the ancient traditions but also aligns them with the cultural values of Queen Victoria's reign, creating a timeless exploration of heroism, love, and loss.
