Maud, and Other Poems (1850) is a collection of poems by British poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson. The first work Tennyson published after becoming Poet Laureate in 1850, Maud, and Other Poems contains several of the poet¿s most celebrated works. ¿Maud,¿ the title poem, is a narrative that explores themes of forbidden romance, marriage, death, and mourning. ¿The Charge of the Light Brigade,¿ originally published in The Examiner in 1854, was written as a tribute to the British Light Cavalry Brigade, which led an ill-fated charge at the Battle of Balaclava during the Crimean War.¿Maud¿ follows a young poet who, after the tragic loss of his father, falls in love with the beautiful Maud. Despite his honorable intentions, the narrator is thwarted by Maud¿s brother, who wants his sister to marry a wealthy businessman. When the brother takes a brief trip to London, the young poet uses the opportunity to court Maud in earnest. But time is not on his side, and the brother returns to throw a ball in order to introduce the businessman to his sister. As his chance at love erodes, the poet makes a desperate choice and risks losing everything¿love, home, and life itself. ¿The Charge of the Light Brigade¿ is a tribute to the British casualties at the Battle of Balaclava during the Crimean War. Tennyson¿s patriotic narrative poem addresses the controversy surrounding the charge, which took place because of a mistaken order and sent hundreds of British cavalrymen in a doomed head-on assault on a well-fortified Russian line of defense.With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Alfred, Lord Tennyson¿s Maud, and Other Poems is a classic of English literature reimagined for modern readers.

Idylls of the King (1859-1885) is a cycle of narrative poems by British poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson. Written while Tennyson was serving as Poet Laureate, Idylls of the King reworks the medieval Arthurian legend in blank verse and with an elegiac tone. Based on Sir Thomas Malory¿s Le Morte d¿Arthur and the early British Mabinogion manuscripts, Tennyson¿s work connects an ancient tradition to the reign and ideals of Queen Victoria.¿The Coming of Arthur¿ traces Arthur¿s rise to power, narrating his role in the siege of Cameliard and the liberation of Leodogran¿s kingdom. Following their victory, Arthur marries Guinevere, Leodogran¿s daughter, who is brought to Camelot by the loyal Sir Lancelot, one of Arthur¿s finest knights. In ¿Gareth and Lynette,¿ the young Gareth begins as a worker in Camelot¿s kitchens before ascending to the role of knight and being sent on a quest to Castle Perilous. In ¿Enid,¿ Sir Geraint, disturbed by a rumored liaison between Lancelot and Guinevere, grows suspicious of his wife Enid and decides to leave Camelot. Unable to quell his distrust and jealousy, Geraint brings Enid on a dangerous quest in order to test her faith. Other sections of the sequence follow the quest for the Holy Grail, Guinevere¿s escape from Camelot, and Mordred¿s betrayal of Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Idylls of the King illuminates an ancient legend for modern audiences, presenting stories of honor, romance, and adventure in engaging, accessible verse.With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Alfred, Lord Tennyson¿s Idylls of the King is a classic of English literature reimagined for modern readers.
