""Harold: A Drama"" is a play written by Alfred Lord Tennyson, first published in 1876. The play is set in the 11th century and tells the story of Harold Godwinson, the last Anglo-Saxon king of England, and his struggle to maintain his power against the invading forces of William the Conqueror. The play is divided into five acts, each of which explores different themes such as love, loyalty, betrayal, and the conflict between duty and personal desires. The character of Harold is portrayed as a tragic hero, torn between his love for Edith, a woman of lower social status, and his duty to his country. The play also features other historical figures such as Edward the Confessor, Tostig Godwinson, and William the Conqueror. Tennyson's poetic language and vivid descriptions bring the medieval world to life, while also exploring timeless themes that are still relevant today.1877.

Originally published in 1910, this book contains the text of fifty poems written by Tennyson between 1830 and 1864, including famous pieces 'The Lady of Shalott' and 'The Charge of the Light Brigade'. Lobban includes an introduction on Tennyson's reputation as a poet, as well as detailed commentary on each poem.

This collection includes, of course, such celebrated poems as "The Lady of Shalott" and "The Charge of the Light Brigade." Finally, there are many of the short lyrical poems, such as "Come into the Garden, Maud" and "Break, Break, Break," for which he is justly celebrated.

Tennyson had a life-long interest in the legend of King Arthur and after the huge success of his poem 'Morte d'Arthur' he built on the theme with this series of twelve poems, written in two periods of intense creativity over nearly twenty years. Idylls of the King traces the story of Arthur's rule, from his first encounter with Guinevere and the quest for the Holy Grail to the adultery of his Queen with Launcelot and the King's death in a final battle that spells the ruin of his kingdom. Told with lyrical and dreamlike eloquence, Tennyson's depiction of the Round Table reflects a longing for a past age of valour and chivalry. And in his depiction of King Arthur he created a hero imbued with the values of the Victorian age - one who embodies the highest ideals of manhood and kingship.
