Locksley Hall
"Locksley Hall" is a poem written by Alfred Tennyson in 1835 and published in his 1842 volume of ''Poems''. It narrates the emotions of a weary soldier come to his childhood home, the fictional Locksley Hall.
According to Tennyson, the poem represents "young life, its good side, its deficiencies, and its yearnings".〔Quoted in Hill.〕 Tennyson's son Hallam recalled that his father said the poem was inspired by Sir William Jones's prose translation of the Arabic Mu'allaqat.
==Poetic form==
"Locksley Hall" is a dramatic monologue written as a set of 97 rhyming couplets. Each line follows a modified version of trochaic octameter in which the last unstressed syllable has been eliminated; moreover, there is generally a caesura, whether explicit or implicit, after the first four trochees in the line. Each couplet is separated as its own stanza. The University of Toronto library identifies this form as "the old 'fifteener' line," quoting Tennyson, who claimed it was written in trochaics because the father of his friend Arthur Hallam suggested that the English liked the meter.〔Hill; (Rpo.library.utoronto.ca )〕 The meter is reminiscent of that of the ''Niebelungenlied''.
