Creo que es un poema que requiere de bastante concentración, y que deja ver la gran habilidad de Tennyson pero que obras cómo estas no son pará todos, ya sea por lo pesado y largo en el género de poesía, diría que quizas solo para ratones de biblioteca, o personas que quieran enriquecerse culturalmente a niveles eruditos, o digamos un nivel élite, como el personaje de Kiyotaka Ayanokouji en Classroom of Elite.

Deep England, or rather Britannia, romanticism.
Victorian-era sophistication and artistic confidence. Healthily enchanted.
Doré's artworks combine perfectly, each artist enhances the other.
