Sir Edward Bulwer-Lytton
1851
Chapman and Hall
Second Edition
8vo
Description:
The first single-volume edition of Bulwer-Lytton's epic poem charting the story of Britain's Legendary King.
Originally published in two separate volumes between 1848 and 1849, this work by Edward Bulwer-Lytton, is a vast Arthurian romance and one of his most significant literary achievements. The poem blends traditional British mythology, romantic chivalry, and political allegory to explore themes of national identity and kingship. Like Tennyson's Idylls of the King it reflects the Victorian interest in medievalism and national myth.
