Description
Excerpt from The Cup
The object for which this edition was primarily intended has necessitated rather more explanation of classical terms and allusions, and also of unusual forms of expression, than is perhaps ordinarily needed. On the other hand, seeing that good dictionaries are nowadays easily procurable, I have refrained from overburdening my notes with derivations.
As it is to be hoped that this play will always be studied in connexion with other and more important works of Tennyson, I thought it might be helpful to supply a little information about some of his chief poems. This I have interwoven in a brief account of his life.
