description

http://schema.org/description

  • "With regal melancholy and superb craftsmanship, [the author's] poems evoke Past and Present-the Isle of the Lotos-eaters, Camelot, and his own twilit English gardens - seeking to reconcile the Victorian zeal for public progress with private despair. He juxtaposes opposites - not only Past and Present, but also Beauty and Squalor, High Class and Low - and then entwines them, allowing his work to transcend its own achievements and intentions. Using eloquence, epic grandeur, and myth, [he] created the masterful style most imitated by poets of his era. And his haunting, rhapsodic poems, detailing the struggles of kings and commoners, still cast their lyrical spell today. -Back cover."

  • "For [the author], this [poem] embodied the universal and unending war between sense and soul, and Arthur the highest ideals of manhood and kingship; an attitude totally compatible with the moral outlook of his age.-Back cover."
