"Idylls of the King" by Baron Alfred Tennyson Tennyson is a cycle of twelve narrative poems published between 1859 and 1885. This retelling of the Arthurian legend follows King Arthur's attempt to create a perfect kingdom, from his rise to power through his tragic downfall. The work chronicles Arthur's knights, his love for Guinevere, her betrayal, and the kingdom's collapse at the hands of the traitor Mordred. Written in blank verse, these
elegiac narratives explore individual knights' deeds while Arthur remains the central linking figure throughout. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
