The great vogue in Victorian times for matters Arthurian owes much
to the poetry of Matthew Arnold and William Morris. Unlike
Tennyson, however, neither of these poets is now remembered
primarily for his Arthurian poems; as a result there is no modern
anthology devoted to this area of their output. This is a major gap
which the present volume seeks to rectify. Arnold's Tristram and
Iseultis the first modern English retelling of the Tristram legend,
a melancholy interpretation of the theme, reflecting the poet's
pessimism about his own age; Morris's different approach -- the
rich sensuality of his The Defence of Guenevere and other poems
--clearly reveals the allure that the middle ages held for the
pre-Raphaelites.
