The Tale of Balen

Description

"The Tale of Balen" is a narrative poem by Algernon Charles Swinburne, a 19th-century English poet, playwright, and critic. This work, published in 1896, represents Swinburne's engagement with Arthurian legends and medieval romance.
"The Tale of Balen" is one of Swinburne's later works and is influenced by the Arthurian legends, particularly the story of Balin and Balan. The poem explores themes of chivalry, honor, and tragic fate, common elements in Arthurian literature.
Swinburne, known for his rich and elaborate poetic style, brings his distinctive voice to this narrative, creating a lush and atmospheric retelling of the Arthurian legend. "The Tale of Balen" reflects Swinburne's fascination with medieval themes and his desire to reinvigorate these legends with his own poetic interpretations.
As with many of Swinburne's works, readers can expect intricate language, vivid imagery, and a deep engagement with the emotional and ethical dilemmas faced by the characters in the narrative.
