Sorry, I have only just come across this question
by backtracking through this literature section.
'The Charge of the Light Brigade' is one of those
poems which need to be declaimed aloud. It is,
in its way, reminiscent of 'Fuzzy Wuzzy', by Rudyard
Kipling.
Also, try contrasting it with 'An English War' by
Dorothy L. Sayers.
Tennyson's poem, with its heroic overtones, can be
compared alongside Kipling's 'The Islanders', which
disgraces the British for their unmanly attitudes to
the military life. The men of the Light Brigade would
turn in their graves.
