Excerpt from A Study of the Works of Alfred: Lord Tennyson; Poet Laureate The original "Study" was dedicated to Tennyson himself, and was published in the year of my marriage. The present volume was thought of before the poet's death, and was partly prepared, in accordance with her own keen desire, during my wife's last illness. In remembrance of the former dedication, and in memory of her whom I hope to meet where ideals shall be fulfilled, I inscribe this book. That which they have done, and which I, herewith, am doing - "May He within Himself make pure," energising all that is true and good, and sterilising all that is false and evil, in the minds and spirits of those whom we shall have influenced.

Seeking to understand Tennyson's poetry as the work of a man concerned with making and then living up one of the most famous names in literature, Anna Barton offers close readings of major works from his early lyrics to his Arthurian Idylls. The laureate's keen sense of professional identity, Barton argues, forced him to grapple with modern concerns about the ethics of print in a market-driven age as he established his own responsible poetic.
This authoritative edition brings together a unique combination of Tennyson's poetry and prose, spanning his entire career, from his striking juvenilia, through his career as Poet Laureate, to the powerful poetry he wrote in his ninth decade. It contains such classics as "The Lady of Shalott," "Morte d'Arthur," "Locksley Hall," "The Charge of the Light Brigade," and "Tears, Idle Tears." It also includes the whole of The Princess, In Memoriam, Maud, and Enoch Arden, and several sections of Idylls of the King.
Tennyson s central poem is presented with an extensive introduction that provides background information on the poet and poem as well as an overview of In Memoriam s formal and thematic peculiarities, including Tennyson s use of the stanza and the poem s rhyme scheme."
Alfred Lord Tennyson, Queen Victoria's favorite poet, commanded a wider readership than any other of his time. His ascendancy was neither the triumph of pure genius nor an accident of history: he skillfully crafted his own career and his relationships with his audience. Fame and recognition came, lavishly and in abundance, but the hunger for more never left him. Resolving never to be anything except 'a poet', he wore his hair long, smoked incessantly, and sported a cloak and wide-brimmed Spanish hat.Tennyson ranged widely in his poetry, turning his interests in geology, evolution and Arthurian legend into verse, but much of his work relates to his personal life. The poet who wrote The Lady of Shalott and The Charge of the Light Brigade has become a permanent part of our culture. This enjoyable and thoughtful new biography shows him as a Romantic as well as a Victorian, exploring both the poems and the pressures of his era, and the personal relationships that made the man.
