The Lord of Burleigh, Tennyson
1919
A work based on Tennyson's poem 'The Lord of Burleigh'. The poem tells the story of a nobleman who, concealing his identity, marries a village girl.
A marriage between different social classes, opposition from those around them—the structure is almost identical to the circumstances of Elgar and Alice.
Leighton's brush quietly captures the atmosphere of the scene. The distance between the two, and yet their undeniable connection.
