Footnotes

{2} To the present writer, as to others, The Lover's Tale appeared
to be imitative of Shelley, but if Tennyson had never read Shelley,
cadit quaestio.

{4} The writer knew this edition before he knew Tennyson's poems.

{5} The author of the spiteful letters was an unpublished anonymous

{12} The English reader may consult Mr Rhys's The Arthurian Legend,

{13} I have summarised, with omissions, Miss Jessie L. Watson's
sketch in King Arthur and his Knights. Nutt, 1899. The learning of
the subject is enormous; Dr Sommer's Le Mort d'Arthur, the second
volume may be consulted. Nutt, 1899.
