Queen Mary and the old stage come alive again with vibrant, historical drama.

Présentation de l'éditeur
It was so with the Laureate when he published his Idylls of the King. The books of Sir Thomas Malory, The Chivalric Tales of Arthur and his Knights, The Mabinogion for its part in Enid, were at once invested with new life: once more they became objects of interest and inquiry. They lived as it were anew. So is it now with Mr. Tennyson on the production of his Queen Mary.
