From the back cover:
Written in the middle of his career, Idylls of the King is Tennyson’s longest and most ambitious work.
Reflecting his lifelong interest in Arthurian themes, his primary sources were Malory’s Morte d’Arthur and the Welsh Mabinogion. For him, the Idylls embodied the universal and unending war between sense and soul, and Arthur the highest ideals of manhood and kingship; an attitude totally compatible with the moral outlook of his age.
