Plot summary, “Idylls of the King” by Alfred, Lord Tennyson in 5 Minutes - Book Review VIDEO
Idylls of the King is a cycle of twelve narrative poems by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, written between 1859 and 1885. Drawing on Sir Thomas Malory’s Le Morte d’Arthur, the poems chronicle King Arthur’s rise to power, his legendary knights, his tragic love with Guinevere, and the eventual decline of Camelot. Key stories include Arthur’s coronation, Gareth’s quest to prove himself, Geraint and Enid’s tests of loyalty, Lancelot’s doomed love, the pursuit of the Holy Grail, and the fatal conflicts leading to Arthur’s death. Written in elegiac blank verse, the work reflects Victorian ideals and societal concerns, blending heroism with moral and emotional complexity.
