A review by hannahbananali
Idylls of the King by Alfred Tennyson

4.0

Whoever would have thought that I would enjoy a 300 page poem?

Yes, this was a difficult read, but worth it in the end. Some of the idylls were heartbreaking, others infuriating, but all were written with such lyrical eloquence. If I didn't read this as part of a class, I think I would have hated it. But studying it in an academic perspective with a brilliant professor helped greatly in my understanding and appreciation of the text.
