KEYWORDS: Alfred Lord Tennyson, Idylls of the King, Poems, English, 19th Century DESCRIPTION: From the back cover: With regal melancholy and superb craftsmanship, Alfred, Lord Tennyson, evoked Past and Present-the Isle of the Lotos-eaters, heraldic Camelot, and his own twilit English gardens-seeking to reconcile the Victorian zeal for public progress with private despair. He juxtaposed opposites —not only Old Times and New, but also Beauty and Squalor, High Class and Low-and then entwined them, allowing his work to transcend its own achievements and intentions. Using eloquence, epic grandeur, and myth, Tennyson created the masterful style most imitated by poets of his era. And his haunting, rhapsodic poems, detailing the struggles of kings and commoners, still cast their lyrical spell today. CONDITION: Covers show slight shelf-wear, with significant crease about 1 inch from the outside edge on the front cover, some bumping to the bottom of the spine, but binding sound. Light age toning throughout. Text block shows a slight amout of exterior edge wear, but contents appear clean and unmarked. FROM THE BOOKSELLER: Thank you for visiting the Dactyl Books eBay Store!
