I'm using this one for the 19th Century Classic catagory in the 2018 Read the Classics challenge hosted on Karen's blog. This is also an Ambleside Online year 7, Term 2 poetry book...overall I really loved this. The story about Pelleas was pretty stupid and definitely my least favorite part of the book, but Tennyson’s handling of Arthur confronting Guinevere was soooo good! Lots of insight into the consequences of sin, the outcome, the pain and lack of any gain on all sides, it was very moving. Writing a 300+ page book in verse form is impressive, to write one this well...it’s no wonder Tennyson is still famous, read, and lauded today.
