EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the original manuscript of the Epilogue to the Idylls of the King, a renowned work by Alfred Lord Tennyson. Written in 1872 and addressed to Queen Victoria, this pen and ink masterpiece is a testament to Tennyson's exceptional talent as a poet. The Idylls of the King consists of twelve narrative poems that delve into Arthurian legends, drawing inspiration from Sir Thomas Malory's La Morte d'Arthur. The profound impact these poems had on Queen Victoria and Prince Albert led to Tennyson being appointed Poet Laureate in 1850. The addition of this epilogue in 1872 further solidified Tennyson's place as one of England's most celebrated poets. It is worth noting that Hallam, the poet's son, added both title and ascription in 1898 when he gifted this precious manuscript to Queen Victoria. Displayed here is a facsimile reproduction from Facsimiles of Royal, Historical & Literary Autographs at the British Museum. This image captures not only Tennyson's exquisite handwriting but also his dedication to capturing patriotic sentiments within his poetry. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of its historical significance - an embodiment of loyalty towards royalty and love for country. Through blank verse and vivid imagery, Tennyson transports us into Arthurian times while simultaneously honoring Victorian ideals. This photograph serves as a reminder that great works endure through time – their power transcending generations – just like the enduring legacy left behind by Alfred Lord Tennyson.
