Idylls of the King by English author Alfred Tennyson is a book of epic poetry first published in 1859 in the United Kingdom. A celebrated classic filled with thrilling adventure. Excerpt ‘And Arthur yet had done no deed of arms, But heard the call, and came: and Guinevere Stood by the castle walls to watch him pass; But since he neither wore on helm or shield The golden symbol of his kinglihood, But rode a simple knight among his knights, And many of these in richer arms than he, She saw him not, or marked not, if she saw, One among many, though his face was bare.’ Synopsis Idylls of the King covers King Arthur's life, from his first meeting with the future queen Guinevere to his final confrontation with Mordred. It paints a bleak picture of a once-idealistic town that has fallen on hard times. Lord Tennyson cites Guinevere's betrayal of Arthur with Lancelot as a factor in the demise of the Round Table.
