Book Description

Among the contents of Tennyson’s 1842 volume, English Idylls and Other Poems, was a fragment of epic –“faint Homeric echoes nothing worth,” its author termed it- called by the name of Malory’s Morte d’ Arthur. This was one of the most notable books printed in England by Caxton, 1484, and interest in it had been revived by a reprint in the early part of the nineteenth century. Tennyson,, therefore, and already projected and begun an Arthurian epic in 1842, in hiss thirty-third year.
