Book Description
"This Norton Critical Edition of In Memoriam features the profound nineteenth-century poem by Victorian poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson, with editorial annotations. Written after the passing of Tennyson's close friend Arthur Henry Hallam, the poem addresses themes of grief, death, and loss. The "Background and Contexts" section of this volume provides a better look at the relationship between the two men along with literary inspirations and scientific backgrounds for the poem itself. "Criticism" includes contemporary reviews and modern critical readings, ranging from analysis of the structure and genre of the poem to considerations of Tennyson's sexuality, materiality, and views on scientific challenges to faith. A chronology and selected bibliography are also included"--

Book Description
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.
