Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Study of Idylls of the King: Critical Notes, References, and Topics for Study
If the reader has little notion of the meaning of the secret word, or of vows so straight that those who took them were pale as at the passing of a ghost, he will readily conceive of The Round Table as a fellowship of knights bound by the most sacred vows to uphold the king. In succeeding Idylls, each knight belongs to this fellowship, or seeks admission, and the honor and success of life is, for him, bound up in his worthiness as a member of Arthur's Table Round. In each separate Idyll, the king forms so slight a part of the narrative that without the aid of the Table Round and the relation of each knight, through this fellowship, to the king, Arthur's name and character will scarcely linger in the memory. But when in succeeding Idylls, knights as different as Gareth, Gawain, and Lancelot, each worship the king, and fear his disapproval, the strength of the fellowship as an order becomes a real thing to the student. Through it, the shadowy king, always in the background, is nevertheless unforgetable; and his character, revealed, by little and little, in the ideals of conduct required of his knights, is illumined and remains in the memory like the vision of some beautiful face seen in early years and then with drawn.

Excerpt from The Study of Idylls of the King: Critical Notes, References, and Topics for Study
Tennyson's Idylls of the King are subtly difficult and complex, full of delicate aesthetic beauty, of noble truth, and pure imagination. In them idyllic and epic qualities intermingle, and the low evolution of the dramatic story is accomplished through the medium of separate idyllic narratives. The selection and adaptation of old legends and traditions; the elusive infusion of ethical meaning everywhere; the study of poetic qualities, of the limitations of idyllic form and figurative language, are topics that offer to students already trained and mature, rich rewards for careful and extended study, but they suggest the preparation of the instructor, or the analytical study of the critic, and lie wholly outside of the field of work possible for those at a distance from libraries, and without the personal guidance of some competent scholar. What, then, is the ordinary reader to do? Is it possible for him to gain any true understanding, however inadequate, of these noble poems?
On first consideration, the task seems difficult to the point of absurdity, but we should remember that for a generation thousands of persons without special training, and but moderately gifted, have read and enjoyed Tennyson's Idylls. It is also true that the greatest poets and artists have always appealed directly to their fellowmen of the common sort. Let us seek in Idylls of the King the basis of this appeal, and find thus, if we may, some suggestion for guidance.
