Description
1884 Alfred TENNYSON The Princess FEMINISM Romance Poem Gender Roles Illustrated



“The Princess: A Medley” by Lord Alfred Tennyson, is a narrative poem that blends both serious and comic themes. The story revolves around the courageous Princess Ida who creates a womens university, an environment off-limits to men. When her betrothed infiltrates the university, disguised as a woman, the narrative unfolds with battles, injuries, and eventually love. The poem, conceived in response to critics urging Tennyson to tackle serious topics, also reflects early feminist discourse and the advancement of womens education.



This first edition published in Boston, 1884 by James R. Osgood and company was edited by William J. Rolfe and features 114 illustrations by esteemed American engraver Andrew Varick Stout Anthony.
