Project Gutenberg 1997-01-01 Public domain in the USA. 1151 Tennyson, Alfred Tennyson, Baron 1809 1892 Tennyson, Alfred Lord The Princess Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Princess_(Tennyson_poem) Produced by ddNg E-Ching, and David Widger "The Princess" by Alfred Lord Tennyson is a poetic narrative written in the late 19th century. The poem explores themes of gender roles, education, and the struggle for women's rights through a fictional narrative woven with mythic and historical elements. The main characters at the start include the Princess Ida, who has established an all-female university, and Prince Arthur, who seeks to win her love. At the start of the poem, we witness a lively gathering at Sir Walter Vivian's estate, where various characters discuss the past and the presence of women in a male-dominated society. A legend of a brave woman who fought for her homeland evokes admiration, setting the stage for a contrast with Princess Ida's contemporary vision of women's independence through education. The prologue and opening scenes highlight the interactions among the youthful characters—Ida, her suitors like Prince Arthur and Cyril, and their shared aspirations for a reformed society that recognizes women's capabilities and rights, establishing a rich backdrop for the unfolding drama.
