Publisher's note

The longest and most ambitious work of his career, Idylls is a reflection of Tennyson's lifelong interest in Arthurian themes. His personification of Arthur, the highest ideal of manhood and leadership, is achieved through a delicacy of phrase and metrical effect that are unmatched.

Annotation

Based on Malory's "Morte d'Arthur", the "Idylls" (written between 1833 and 1869) tell the classic story of Arthur's struggle to maintain order and preserve his kingdom in the face of monumental upheavals, including civil war, his wife's adultery with his best friend, and betrayals by his once-close associates. Arthur's last soliloquy before he dies and is carried off in the "dusky barge" to Avalon, where great heroes find eternal life, includes the lines, "The old order changeth, yielding place to new,/And God fulfills himself in many ways..." The poem's last lines are, "And the new sun rose bringing the new year."
