Tennyson’s Camelot
As the principal narrative poem of nineteenth-century England, Tennyson's Idylls of the King is an ambitious and widely influential reworking of the Arthurian legends of the Middle Ages, which have provided a great body of myth and symbol to writers, painters, and composers for the past hundred years. Tennyson's treatment of these legends is now valued as a deeply significant oblique commentary on cultural decadence and the precarious balance of civilization. Drawing upon published and unpublished materials, Tennyson's Camelot studies the Idylls of the King from the perspective of all its medieval sources. In noting the Arthurian literature Tennyson knew and paying special attention to the w...

Welcome to Camelot
Gwen Price works at the Camelot Hotel, Monmouthshire. She is a thoroughly modern miss – very independent; she loves her iPhone and her fashion wear, she flirts outrageously, and she will cheat, lie and steal to get whatever she wants. Why not? Then one day she wakes up in the fifth century in the Court of King Arthur where there are absolutely no creature comforts, society is rigidly hierarchical and challenging social conventions risks getting her branded as a witch. Meanwhile, Lady Gwendolyn of Camelot is warm, generous, innocent, vulnerable and totally dependent on the fifth-century supportive community that she has grown up in. She wakes up in a 21st-century world where possessions define people, personal relations are distant, and everyone is an island. This is a story of how these two learn to cope and adjust; both girls out of their time, and how in turn they affect the very different societies they find themselves in. Welcome to Camelot!
