The cycle of narrative poems known as "Idylls of the King" was written by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, one of the most renowned writers of the Victorian period. The collection depicts the ascent and fall of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table in a retelling of the Arthurian tales. The Victorian beliefs and concerns are reflected in Tennyson's interpretation of the Arthurian stories, which he uses as a background for reflection on current social and moral problems. The poems in "Idylls of the King" are organized more as a succession of related events than in a precise chronological order. Both "The Coming of Arthur," which portrays Arthur as a youthful and idealistic monarch, and "The Passing of Arthur," which details his dying moments and the breakup of the Round Table, are among them. Tennyson examines the depths of human nature as well as the shortcomings and foibles of his characters throughout the book. The "Idylls of the King" are regarded as one of Tennyson's best works and an important addition to English literature. The spirit of chivalry, honor, and the pursuit of lofty goals in the face of human frailty are captured in this timeless interpretation of the Arthurian stories.
