Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Tennyson's: Gareth and Lynette, Lancelot and Elaine, the Passing of Arthur
This edition of certain Idylls of the King is more fully annotated than the college requirement in itself demands, but behind these modern poems lies such a wealth of mediaeval romance, such a vast playground for the imagi nation, that it seemed desirable to suggest it through the notes. The hope has been to have these notes, which consist largely of illustrative quotations from Malory, Crestien de Troyes, and other romancers, deepen, rather than dim, the golden atmosphere of the Arthurian world, - that world to which, for most of us, Tennyson first gave the Open Sesame.
The groups of questions have been added at the request of. Teachers.
