Set in a medieval kingdom, the narrative poem follows Princess Ida, who rejects male company to create a women's university. Her ideals are tested when Prince Cyril and his friends, disguised as women, seek her affection. Through this romantic entanglement, Tennyson examines gender roles and societal expectations, highlighting the clash between love, honor, and tradition. The poem's lyrical beauty and rich themes of feminism and power dynamics invite readers to reflect on the complexities of relationships and societal norms.

One of the great Victorian poets, Tennyson's genius is expressed through the precision and delicacy of the language of his lyrical poems

Tennyson was one of the true great Victorian poets - much of his work is known throughout the world: 'Theirs not to reason why, theirs but to do and die' 'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all' His genius is expressed through the precision and delicacy of the language of his lyrical poems. Some of his words were engraved in the 2012 Olympic village and his early poetry was a major influence on and inspiration for the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Tennyson initially declined a baronetcy - indeed, he wrote a substantial amount of unoffical political poetry. To this day, he remains one of Britain's most popular poets. 'No man ever got very high by pulling other people down... Don't knock your friends. Don't knock your enemies. Don't knock yourself' Tennyson

Die Idyllen des Königs reflektieren Tennysons tiefes Interesse an Artus-Themen und verkörpern den universellen Konflikt zwischen Sinn und Seele. Arthur wird als Ideal von Männlichkeit und Königtum dargestellt, was mit den moralischen Vorstellungen seiner Zeit übereinstimmt. Tennysons poetischer Stil, stark beeinflusst von Romantikern wie Keats, zeichnet sich durch eine einzigartige Feinheit und subtile metrische Effekte aus. Diese Ausgabe basiert auf dem von Tennyson autorisierten Text und bietet einen umfassenden kritischen Apparat, der das Werk in einen breiteren literarischen Kontext stellt.

Alfred Tennyson tvoril časti svojho diela na rôznych miestach, tak ako mu prichádzali na um jednotlivé okolnosti jeho priateľstva s Arthurom Henrym Hallamom. Nemal v úmysle publikovať ich ako celok, k tejto možnosti dospel, až keď si uvedomil, koľko veršov na túto tému už napísal. V úvode sa zračí obdobie intenzívneho žiaľu za priateľom, presvedčenie, že za ním bude smútiť neustále. V raných fázach trúchlenia spochybňuje prežitie duše a existenciu posmrtného života. No hoci v tomto bode nedospieva k viere, ktorú nachádza v závere básnickej skladby, a vnútorne bojuje s tým, že vedecké poznatky môžu existenciu Boha aj vyvrátiť, napokon dospieva k súladu a prijíma náboženstvo a vieru. Pripúšťa, že biologický vývin je evolúciou Božieho zámeru s človekom a so zemou: Máme len vieru, čo si nie je istá, / veď naša znalosť stále čelí tme, / no predsa v tvoju veľkosť veríme, / lúč v temrave: nech rastie do zlatista.
