| Sumario: | The article discusses the connections in the works of American poet Henry Timrod and Alfred, Lord Tennyson. Maud Dickson, in his 1886 article, described Timrod as the Tennyson of South Carolina while in a 1893 "The Sewanee Review" by Henry E. Shepherd, Timrod's writing was compared to that of Tennyson in the latter's "In Memoriam." Timrod's version of Arthur's Knights of the Round Table follows the same formula as the southern warriors also do observe a code of behavior like honor and truth without stain, which echoes the values in Tennyson's work. According to the author, the works of Timrod spoke on behalf of the white South and immortalizes not only himself, but also his South.
