""The Princess: A Medley"" is a narrative poem written by Alfred Tennyson and published in 1899. The poem is divided into seven parts and tells the story of a princess named Ida who starts a women's university in order to prove that women are just as capable as men. The story also includes a love triangle between Ida, Prince Hilarion, and his friend Cyril. The poem explores themes of gender roles, education, love, and societal expectations. Tennyson incorporates elements of comedy and satire into the poem, and it is considered one of his most experimental works.
