Excerpt from Tennyson as a Religious Teacher A word of explanation is, perhaps, not unnecessary as to the method pursued in the following pages. Many of these may appear only remotely to deal with Tennyson's position, and mainly to be occupied with the comments and suggestions of the author. The chapters on Vastness, Evolution, Immortality, and others, may seem but inadequate attempts to discuss contemporary problems, with only scattered allusions to the work of Tennyson. But the mere extraction from the work of any great author of certain categorical propositions is a dismal though easy task. To place these propositions in their correct relation to the changing thought of any given time requires a clear explanation of the exact meaning of the theories and the terms so glibly utilised, and so readily misunderstood. Such a task is as much harder as it is better worth the doing. From one point of view my treatment of these problems will seem too full; from another, it will appear altogether inadequate. A book, instead of a chapter, on each of these questions would but give a bare discussion of outlines. Yet, perhaps, even this slight sketch may contribute towards a better understanding of the problems which confronted Tennyson and his contemporaries - problems of an age "which already in its methods of thought, its difficulties, and its ideals, is rapidly passing away." Amid much that appears unsatisfactory in the literature that has accumulated around Tennyson's poetry, I may mention certain writings that, judged by however high a standard, must command respect and admiration.

Excerpt from The Faith of a Quaker There arise also the insistent questions which beset all mystics, and which in Quakerism demanded a corporate, instead of an individual, answer. Was the light infallible? Was the claim to it an assumption of spiritual exaltation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Alfred Tennyson was a poet all his life, writing more than a thousand works in virtually every poetic genre. Considered by his Victorian contemporaries the pre-eminent poet of the age, he has become a canonical figure who is widely read and studied today. Consequently, his poems appear on the syllabi of both survey courses in Victorian literature as well as upper-division and graduate-level topics courses that cover Victorian studies or address subjects such as environmental studies, religion, elegiac poetry, and Arthurian literature. This companion makes Tennyson's poetry accessible to contemporary readers by identifying some of the formal elements of the poems, highlighting their relevance to Tennyson's Victorian contemporaries, and explaining their enduring appeal and value. Entries in the companion, organized alphabetically, provide essential details about Tennyson's most anthologized poems, offer suggestions for reading and interpretation, and elucidate unfamiliar historical and literary allusions. Additional entries, a biography of Tennyson, and a selected bibliography of recent criticism offer information about the people, places, events, and issues that influenced Tennyson or were important to him and his contemporaries.
This famous work was the result of the wartime collaboration of two Scottish scholars. Their tracing of the course of English poetry has been described by The Times Literary Supplement as a 'volume of masterly compression'. They deliberately spend most time on the greatest poets, believing that, significant as traditions and influences are, the great poet himself affects the spirit of his age and moulds the tradition he has inherited. At the same time, enough attention is paid to minor poets to make the book historically complete, and to fill in the most important links in the chain of poetic development. Thus Gower is here, as well as Chaucer; Patmore, as well as Browning. Both in scope and in detail A Critical History of English Poetry is a distinguished and valuable work.
