Publisher's Synopsis
Lord Tennyson's ""The Coming of King Arthur"" is a narrative poem that tells the story of the legendary King Arthur and his rise to power. The poem begins with the young Arthur, who is unaware of his royal heritage, living with his foster father Sir Hector. One day, while out hunting, Arthur pulls a sword from a stone, proving that he is the rightful king of England. With the help of the wizard Merlin, Arthur gathers a group of knights, including Sir Lancelot and Sir Gawain, and sets out to unite the kingdom and establish his reign. Along the way, Arthur faces many challenges, including battles with rival knights and a struggle for power with his own half-sister Morgause. Despite these obstacles, Arthur remains steadfast in his quest to create a just and noble kingdom. Ultimately, the poem ends with Arthur's coronation and the promise of a new era of peace and prosperity for England. Tennyson's vivid descriptions and lyrical language bring the story of King Arthur to life in this classic work of English literature.THIS 34 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Tennyson�������s Mystical Poems, by Alfred Tennyson.
