Idylls of the King

Idylls of the King by Alfred, Lord Tennyson is a poetic collection that presents an epic reimagining of the legendary King Arthur myth. First published in parts between 1859 and 1885, it consists of twelve narrative poems that explore the rise, reign, and eventual downfall of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. The poems address themes of chivalry, honor, betrayal, and the tragic consequences of human failings, all while providing a moral reflection on the ideals of nobility and justice.
