| Idylls of the King | comment |
Alfred, Lord Tennyson's verse narrative Idylls of the King is inspired by Arthurian Legend, especially Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur; however, it also draws extensively on the Mabinogion and French traditions. The complete Idylls consists of 12 poems, plus a dedication to the deceased Prince Albert and an epilogue addressed to Queen Victoria. Tennyson, a longtime enthusiast of the Arthurian tales, worked on the collection for decades: the first four poems appeared in 1859, and the last one in 1885. In the complete book, the poems are not in order of writing or publication.It was illustrated by Gustave Doré. | |

No Celebrities Were Harmed: Tennyson's Arthur is a romanticized version of Prince Albert. | |

Idiot Ball: Carried by several characters. Thanks to his Incorruptible Pure Pureness, Arthur doesn't pick up on the relationship between Guinevere and Lancelot. Merlin allows himself to be tricked by Vivien. Tristram doesn't pack up to go, despite Isolt warning him that Mark could return any second. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
| Idylls of the King / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: Because Tennyson skips large chunks of the legend, some characters simply disappear without a trace (Vivien), or have blink-and-you'll miss-it resolutions to their plot (Lancelot). | |

Gondor Calls for Aid: Why Arthur Jumps at the Call in "The Coming of Arthur." Subverted in "Gareth and Lynette." Because of some backstage maneuvering by Arthur, Lancelot does not go on the quest when Lynette asks; when he does put in an appearance later on, Lynette is exasperated instead of pleased. | |
