Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Tennyson, Vol. 2 of 2: His Art and Relation to Modern Life In the Idylls of the King Tennyson has worked up into a whole the ancient story of Arthur, a story which is at least a thousand years old. How it first arose none can tell. Whether it has any historical basis, it is also impossible to decide. i It is supposed that there was an historical Arthur who fought twelve great battles with the English: heathen, and who had many hero-chieftains under his sway and in his devotion, but the more we look. at him the more his figure recedes into the mist of legend or of myth. Even the country where he reigned, and the lands over which his wars were waged, are not known to us. Some scholars make him a warrior of Southern Britain. Others place him in the North, beyond the Border, and he fights with the Saxon chiefs from Dumbarton to the eastern coast, beating them back in twelve great battles. Out of the dim vapour of ancientry these two great figures rise, and the name of Arthur alone mingles them into one. Tennyson takes the first tradition, and it is the one that has the most prevailed in literature. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
