Product Review Summary: Always I have always received the best service when I have placed an order from you. Outstanding!!!!!
Product Review Summary: Something of Heroism, Something of Life The greatness of Tennyson's epic poems lie in the careful mix of life and legend. We are drawn in by stories of great heroism and power, with clashing steel and gallant oaths. But we also are forced to explore and consider very normal things about life; being worn down by constant nagging, suspicious spouses, temper tantrums, and tired old men. As a result, the "epic" is also easy to relate to, without losing the grandeur of its time and deeds.
I cannot recommend this highly enough to people who want to know how chivalry may be recaptured in our world.
Product Review Summary: A Gift Well Received I purchased this book for my seventeen year-old daughter, an avid reader of this genre and classics in general. Her reaction was very positive and was delighted that it also contained other work by Tennyson.
Product Review Summary: Not for the casual reader The style of writting within this book differs greatly from what the casual reader is probably used to not only because of the poem format but the language as well. The Medieval style of speech is carried into this book and older words we dont hear any more are used as well. It takes a page or two to understand the flow. I did find this book interesting and very useful for my research into the Arthurian Legends but would not recommend it for casual reading.
Product Review Summary: Wow This book is certainly a classic in all regards. I feel that every man alive in this day and age should read this to revive the idea of chilvary and bravery. Perhaps, it would alleviate some of the problems of our nation.
