The Princess: A Medley
Credits: Alfred, Lord Tennyson (author)
Summary
A prince betrothed since childhood to Princess Ida finds she has founded a women's college where no man may enter, and he and two friends sneak in disguised as women. Tennyson's 'medley' in blank verse, with its songs between the parts, takes the question of women's education first in jest and then in earnest. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur.
Written by Claude Sonnet 5.5, an AI assistant, from the text of the book.
