This book explores four poems of knightly adventure by four great poets: Tennyson, Arnold, Macaulay, and Lowell. It presents a detailed analysis of their artistic devices, narrative techniques, and use of figurative language. The book offers a comparative examination of how these poets depict the chivalrous ideal and explore themes of honor, courage, and self-sacrifice. Through the lens of these poems, the book sheds light on the broader literary and historical context of the Arthurian legend and Victorian poetry. It provides valuable insights into the development of narrative poetry and the evolution of the knightly ideal in literature.

Excerpt from Poems of Knightly Adventure

In those brain-stunning shocks, and tourney-falls, Frights to my heart; but stay: follow the deer By these tall firs and our fast-falling burns.

Excerpt from Poems of Knightly Adventure

In this volume have been brought together four poems of knightly adventure. In Gareth and Lynette we have Tennyson's idealization of the knight of chivalry; in Sohrab and Rustum we have the Persian hero; Horatius is the type of the old Roman of the Republic; in The Vision of Sir Launfal Lowell has expressed a modern conception of knightliness. The poems are worth reading together.

They are also worth comparing in the matter of poetic style. The particular point of style here discussed is Figurative Language. Other volumes in this series deal with Poetic Diction and Metre, but short notes on those topics are given here. These discussions of style may. in parts, perhaps be thought too difficult for pupils; but there is nothing that the teacher cannot understand and explain. It is generally better to make the pupil use his intelligence to the uttermost than to simplify a matter for easy comprehension, and in so doing drain all the real sense out of it.
