Idylls of the King, published between 1859 and 1885, is a cycle of twelve narrative poems by the famous poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809–1892) which retells the legend of King Arthur, his knights, his love for Guinevere and her tragic betrayal of him, and the rise and fall of Arthur\'s kingdom. This volume contains the first four of Idylls - Enid, Vivien, Elaine and Guinevere - first published in 1859, which cover Arthur\'s coronation, his accession, and marriage.
