How Lisa Loved the King

How Lisa Loved the King

George Eliot

How Lisa Loved the King is a narrative poem by George Eliot, written in the late 19th century. Set in historical Sicily, it tells the story of Lisa, a young girl who falls in love with King Pedro of Aragon during a grand festival in Palermo. The poem explores themes of unrequited love and chivalry as Lisa's deep admiration for the king leads to emotional turmoil, ultimately culminating in a celebration of love that transcends social class. Eliot's work is notable for its graceful form and its connection to Boccaccio's themes.
