5.0 out of 5 stars The Poetry Informal, February 25, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Charge of the Light Brigade (Library Binding)

I chose this poem because I like war and also because Lord Tennyson Alfred is so descriptive. Tennyson Alfred used an idiom when he says "Came thro' the jaws of Death
Back from the mouth of Hell," because the Light Brigade wasn't really coming back from Hell's jaws or the jaws of Death. I chose this poem also because it memorializes the suicidal charge that the Light Brigade made so valiantly against the Cossacks and Russians.
