Tennyson’s Camelot
Author: David Staines
Publisher: Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press
ISBN: 1554587948
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 294
Book Description
As the principal narrative poem of nineteenth-century England, Tennyson's Idylls of the King is an ambitious and widely influential reworking of the Arthurian legends of the Middle Ages, which have provided a great body of myth and symbol to writers, painters, and composers for the past hundred years. Tennyson's treatment of these legends is now valued as a deeply significant oblique commentary on cultural decadence and the precarious balance of civilization. Drawing upon published and unpublished materials, Tennyson's Camelot studies the Idylls of the King from the perspective of all its medieval sources. In noting the Arthurian literature Tennyson knew and paying special attention to the works that became central to his Arthurian creation, the volume reveals the poet's immense knowledge of the medieval legends and his varied approaches to his sources. The author follows the chronology of composition of the Idylls, allowing the reader to see Tennyson's evolving conception of his poem and his changing attitudes to the medieval accounts. The Idylls of the King stands, ultimately, as the poet's own Camelot, his legacy to his generation, an indictment of his society through a vindication of his idealism.

The Age of Tennyson
Author: Hugh Walker
Publisher: Good Press
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 203
Book Description
'The Age of Tennyson' by Hugh Walker is an examination of the literary period from 1830 to 1870. While this time is often referred to as the Tennysonian era, the book explains why it ended over twenty years before Tennyson's death. The volume highlights Tennyson, Browning, Arnold, and Ruskin as the survivors into a new period but includes sketches of their later works as well. The book's main focus is on the greater men of the era and their search for truth and understanding, as seen in science, psychology, and the development of clear and precise writing.
