A slog! It was mostly dull but had moments of interest. I was mainly looking at it in compassion to the depictions of women in Idylls of the king and it was very interesting to see the huge contrast in Guinevere. King Arthur is far more ambiguous in his morals than in Idylls which makes him a more complex character by Tennyson. However both novels really don’t have a lot of Arthur apart from the start and end .
