About the book
"Lady Clare" by Baron Alfred Tennyson Tennyson is a narrative poem first published in 1842. It tells the story of Lady Clare, a young noblewoman about to marry her cousin Lord Ronald, when her nurse reveals a shocking secret: she is not truly noble-born but was switched at birth with the real Lady Clare who died in infancy. Determined to be honest, Lady Clare must tell Lord Ronald the truth and face the consequences of her humble origins.
