Finely bound example with a fore-edge painting of Tennyson's "long-meditated great task" which brought him to fame (Baugh, 1388). Octavo, bound in full red pebbled morocco, spine stamped in gilt in compartments, all edges and turn ins gilt, fore-edge painting with view of The Market Place, Cambridge. In very good condition. With Idylls of the King, one of the giants of Victorian literature turned his considerable talents to the lore surrounding a larger-than-life British ruler. Alfred, Lord Tennyson cast his interpretation of Arthurian myth into the form of an epic poem, and his tales of Camelot soar to remarkable imaginative heights to trace the birth of a king; the founding, fellowship, and decline of the Round Table; and the king's inevitable departure. Encompassing romance, heroism, duty, and conflict, Tennyson's poetry charts the rise and fall of a legendary society. â By the early 19th century, the Arthurian legends had become a literary anachronism. Tennysonâ s poetry brought about a rebirth of interest in the material and eventually placed it on a new plateau of respect and significance for writers and artistsâ ¦ Tennysonâ s recreation of the Arthurian world is an attempt to reform his generation by showing the effects of sensuality, materialism and spiritual blindnessâ (Lacy, 446-49).

Number 184 of 350 copies, signed by the artist. 'Eleanor Fortescue-Brickdale never married, and from 1903 to 1943 she lived with her sister, Kate, who was also unmarried, at 23 Elsham Road, Shepherd's Bush. She travelled often to the continent and was clearly influenced by the fifteenth- and early sixteenth-century art which she saw on visits to Italy. There were further exhibitions of her works at Leighton House in 1904, with a catalogue containing appreciative remarks by George Frederic Watts, and at Dowdeswell's in 1905 and 1909. She continued her illustrative work, which from about 1905 consisted of both line drawings and watercolours made for reproduction as half-tone colour plates. In 1911 two editions of Tennyson's Idylls of the King (de luxe and popular) were published with illustrations from her watercolours while the originals were on show in another of her one-woman exhibitions, this time at the Leicester Galleries. From that year she taught in the art school in Kensington founded by Byam Shaw' (Oxford DNB). Large 4to (300 × 240 mm), pp. [12], 173, [1], plus 21 coloured plates, mounted. Endpapers browned. Original publisher's full vellum, gilt. Slightly soiled, covers very slightly bowed, wants ties. A good copy.
