| Evidence: | From F. T. Palgrave's 'Personal Recollections' of Tennyson:
'[William Gifford] [...], meeting Tennyson for the first time, ventured to remark on the truth of [Locksley Hall] [...] to Arabian sentiment and manner [...] Tennyson [...] told us that "Locksley Hall" had, in fact, been "suggested by reading Sir William Jones' prose translation of the old Arabian Moallakat": a famous collection from the work of pre-Mahommedan poets.' |
