Gareth And Lynette - Alfred Lord Tennyson - Bog

Gareth and Lynette is a narrative poem written by Alfred Lord Tennyson, first published in 1872. The poem is part of Tennyson's Idylls of the King, a collection of twelve narrative poems that retell the legends of King Arthur and his knights. The poem follows the story of Gareth, a young knight who seeks to prove himself worthy of knighthood. Gareth is the youngest son of King Lot of Orkney, and he sets out to join King Arthur's court at Camelot. However, his mother and brothers try to dissuade him, believing that he is not fit for knighthood. Undeterred, Gareth sets out on his journey and meets Lynette, a lady who is searching for Sir Lancelot to help her defend her castle against an enemy. Lynette is initially dismissive of Gareth, but he insists on accompanying her and proves his worth by defeating several enemies along the way. Eventually, they arrive at Lynette's castle, where Gareth defeats her enemy and wins her respect. He is then knighted by King Arthur and becomes a member of the Round Table. The poem explores themes of chivalry, courage, and the struggle to prove oneself worthy. It also features Tennyson's signature style of lyrical and descriptive language, as well as his use of vivid imagery and symbolism.THIS 54 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Poems of Knightly Adventure, by Alfred Lord Tennyson.
