Tennyson was undoubtedly the greatest of the Victorian poets -- this work focus on the social aspects of Tennyson's poetry, its ability to change social views. Gordon discusses the character of literature and its ability to express social ills, as well as to bring self-consciousness of society. Thus it embodies, according to Gordon, the highest individual and social ideal. He then discusses how these ideals pertain Tennyson's poetry. Chapters include: Social Condition in England in the Time of Tennyson Tennyson's Idea of Man Tennyson's Idea of the Earth and work of the Woman Social Institution Democracy and Progress, and more.
The poet's reputation has weathered even the most vitriolic attempts to discredit both the man and his writings; and as criticism of the late twentieth century demonstrates, Tennyson's claim to pre-eminence among the Victorians is now unchallenged."
