The Princess

“The Princess” is a comic blank verse narrative poem written by Alfred Tennyson, published in 1847. It tells the story of a heroic princess who tries to find her place but finds it hard. To resist the overall dominance of men, she founds a women's university where men are forbidden to enter. Yet, in childhood, she was promised to a prince, that now is grow-up and wants to marry her. So he joins the university with two friends, disguised as women students, to fight for his love and get into unusual adventures.
