Synopsis
This book explores four poems of knightly adventure by four great poets: Tennyson, Arnold, Macaulay, and Lowell. It presents a detailed analysis of their artistic devices, narrative techniques, and use of figurative language. The book offers a comparative examination of how these poets depict the chivalrous ideal and explore themes of honor, courage, and self-sacrifice. Through the lens of these poems, the book sheds light on the broader literary and historical context of the Arthurian legend and Victorian poetry. It provides valuable insights into the development of narrative poetry and the evolution of the knightly ideal in literature.
