Book Description
The letters in this volume, virtually all of them personal letters to close friends and relatives, cover nearly fifty years of Emily Tennyson's life, from shortly before her marriage right up to the week of her death. These letters tell the reader much about the Tennysons' acquaintances and their guests at Farringford and Aldworth, many of them among the literary and political luminaries of the day. But more importantly they comment on Tennyson himself and on daily life in the Tennyson household. Written with no thought of posterity, Lady Tennyson's letters reveal the domestic Tennyson, just as he was, for the first time. They reveal crucial information about Tennyson's reading and his intellectual and spiritual preoccupations; and they will contribute in time to a better understanding of the complexities and subtleties of Tennyson's verse. Of course, these letters also provide a running account of the life of Emily Tennyson herself, and they give a valid impression of the sort of woman she really was. Her common sense and her erudition, her tolerance and her boundless kindness, her appreciation and command of music and other arts, her social and political awareness, her persuasive effect on Tennyson's poetry, and her shaping influence on the lives of the people who knew her best--all these aspects of Emily Tennyson are displayed in her correspondence.

Book Description
After the death of the poet laureate in 1892, Lady Tennyson spent most of her time assisting her son Hallam (second Baron Tennyson) with his prodigious task of preparing the Tennyson Memoir. Together she and Hallam collected, sorted, and assembled an extraordinary mass of materials related in various ways to Tennyson's life and works. Lady Tennyson gathered and inspected all extant letters to the poet, and she worked at recovering every available letter written by Tennyson, as well as the many letters she herself had written during forty-two years of married life. And, in addition to selecting and arranging hundreds of letters and other items for her son's convenience, Lady Tennyson prepared her own final Journal. From immediately after her marriage in June 1850 until shortly before her nearly fatal collapse in the autumn of 1874, Emily Tennyson kept a running account of life in the Tennyson home. Though she by no means made an entry for every day during that period of twenty-four years, certainly there are no sizable gaps, and she was particularly scrupulous in noting every occurrence of the slightest moment involving her husband. The epitome Journal put together after the poet's death is the product of a laborious combining of the several initial journals to form a more convenient and usable whole. Since Emily compiled her final Journal soley as a source of information for Hallam, one would suppose that she deleted certain items of highly personal material preserved in her antecedent diaries. Nonetheless, her Journal, as we have it, is a treasure trove of information about the Tennysons' daily life, and it enables us to see both the laureate and the entire Tennyson family circle more clearly than ever before. -- Introduction.
