Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Princess" by Baron Alfred Tennyson Tennyson is a serio-comic blank verse narrative poem published in 1847. A princess forswears men and establishes a women's university where males are forbidden. Her betrothed prince and two friends disguise themselves as women to infiltrate the institution and win her back. When their identities are exposed, a battle ensues, leading to unexpected consequences. This pioneering work explores women's education and equality during the early stages of the women's rights movement, blending romance with social commentary.
