Arthurian Traditions (04/20)

[godinakilt.livejournal.com]

No, Camulus wasn't celebrating 4/20. Because class isn't ridiculously late today. Not at all. I resent the implication.

"The Victorian period of English literature," he began without preamble. "Another period during which the legend of Arthur returned with a vengeance. We'll be looking at the works of Alfred, Lord Tennyson, who wrote two important works. One, the short poem 'The Lady of Shalott', and two, the 12-book epic The Idylls of the King. I want them both read for Tuesday's class."

The rest of the lesson was spent with a short lecture on the life of Tennyson and *handwavey* other important Victorian works about King Arthur.

[[No, don't have to read all the Idylls. Sorry for late again, I'm just a doofus. Class will be open for interaction as long as you wish.]]
