Discussion on the Idylls?
Since I've run into a number of litnetters who have an interest in Arthurian texts, would anyone like to have a discussion on Tennyson? I'm beginning to work my way through this text (I've only gotten through the first idyll, "The Coming of Arthur"), and we could go as quickly or slowly as need be. Let me know. :)

based on Malory?
I've not yet had the chance to read Idylls of the King, but I'd like to know how much Arthurian lore Tennyson took from Malory? Did he borrow from the earlier French romances as well?
