The Princess

""The Princess: A Medley"" is a narrative poem written by Alfred Tennyson and published in 1847. The poem tells the story of a princess who starts a women's college in order to promote women's education and independence. However, her father, the king, disapproves of her actions and demands that she marry a prince in order to secure the kingdom's succession. The princess and her female students then stage a mock battle against the prince and his male counterparts to prove that women are just as capable as men. The poem explores themes of gender roles, education, and the role of women in society. It is considered a landmark work in feminist literature and Tennyson's most experimental work. The book is widely regarded as a masterpiece of Victorian literature and is still read and studied today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
