Excerpt from Glimpses of Tennyson and Some of His Relations and Friends His wife, Emily Sellwood. Was my mother's eldest sister, her youngest sister Louisa being the wife of his elder brother Charles, but though thus only my uncles by marriage, Charles and Alfred Tenny son treated me just as if I had been their own child; indeed, the latter said that the fact of my father's having left him my guardian placed him in a sort of parental relationship to me.

Book Description
Excerpt from Tennyson Tennyson's work embodies his life. He wove into his poetry his thoughts and feelings about almost everything that touched him, in public events and emotions, or in his private world. His outward life, on the whole, was fortunate; his private and home relationships were generally happy, while to few poets in their lifetime has it fallen, as to him, to receive the approval of the multitude.at the same time as the appreciation of the audience fit and few. Such hard ships and sorrows as he 'had to endure in the earlier part of his life, severe though they may have been, were not so over whelming as to obstruct gravely the working'of his genius.

Book Description
Alfred Tennyson, 1st Baron Tennyson, FRS (6 August 1809 - 6 October 1892) was Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom during much of Queen Victoria's reign and remains one of the most popular poets in the English language. Tennyson excelled at penning short lyrics, such as 'In the Valley of Cauteretz', 'Break, Break, Break', 'The Charge of the Light Brigade', 'Tears, Idle Tears' and 'Crossing the Bar'. Much of his verse was based on classical mythological themes, such as Ulysses, although In Memoriam A.H.H. was written to commemorate his best friend Arthur Hallam, a fellow poet and fellow student at Trinity College, Cambridge, who was engaged to Tennyson's sister, but died from a brain haemorrhage before they could marry. Tennyson also wrote some notable blank verse including Idylls of the King, 'Ulysses, ' and 'Tithonus.' During his career, Tennyson attempted drama, but his plays enjoyed little success. A number of phrases from Tennyson's work have become commonplaces of the English language, including 'Nature, red in tooth and claw', ''Tis better to have loved and lost / Than never to have loved at all', 'Theirs not to reason why, / Theirs but to do and die', 'My strength is as the strength of ten, / Because my heart is pure', 'Knowledge comes, but Wisdom lingers', and 'The old order changeth, yielding place to new'. He is the ninth most frequently quoted writer in The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations. This is a high quality book of the original classic edition. It was previously published by other bona fide publishers, and is now, finally, back in print. This is a freshly published edition of this culturally important work, which is now, at last, again available to you. Enjoy this classic work. These few paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside: The traveller by the Great Northern main line passes through but a small portion of its south-western fringe near Grantham; and if he goes along the eastern side from Peterborough to Grimsby or Hull, he gains no insight into the picturesque parts of the county, for the line takes him over the rich flat fenlands with their black vegetable mould devoid of any kind of stone or pebble, and intersected by those innumerable dykes or drains varying from 8 to 80 feet across, which give the southern division of Lincolnshire an aspect in harmony with its Batavian name "the parts of Holland." ...Here it joins the great spine-bone of the county on which, straight as an arrow for many a mile northwards, runs the Roman Ermine Street; and but for the Somersby brook these two ridges from Louth and Lincoln would unite at Spilsby, whence the greensand formation, which begins at Raithby, sends out two spurs, one eastwards, ending abruptly at Halton, while the other pushes a couple of miles farther south, until at Keal the road drops suddenly[Pg 12] into the level fen, giving a view-east, south, and west-of wonderful extent and colour, ending to the east with the sea, and to the south with the tall pillar of Boston Church standing up far above the horizon. ...describes what the Poet might at any time of full moon have seen from that "sand-built ridge" with the red sun setting over the wide marsh, and the full moon rising out of the eastern sea; and "The wide winged sunset of the misty marsh" recalls one of the most noticeable features of that particular locality, where, across the limitless windy plain, the sun would set in[Pg 14] regal splendour; and when "cold winds woke the gray-eyed morn" his rising over the sea would be equally magnificent in colour.

Book Description
Excerpt from Tennyson Remembrance Book: A Memorial for the Poet's Reader Friends Judged by conventional standards in these days of hurry, the life of Alfred Tennyson would seem to have been singularly unevent ful He was born in the flat Lincolnshire country of England, in the rectory of Somersby, on the sixth Of August, 1809, one year after Longfellow, two years after Whittier was born in 1807. His boyhood was passed at home, his education being almost entirely conducted by his father, a cultivated English clergyman. Apart from his home training he had four years at the grammar school of Louth and the regular university course at Cambridge. The rectory children were a baker's dozen, happy, precocious, and most Of them story writers or poetizers at an early age.

To those who have contributed to this volume their memories of my father, criticisms of his work, or records of his friends, I owe a deep debt of gratitude. Three of the writers, Henry Butcher, Sir Alfred Lyall, and Graham Dakyns, have lately, to my great loss, passed away—into that fuller "light of friendship"— "a clearer day Than our poor twilight dawn on earth."

Excerpt from The Homes and Haunts of Alfred Lord Tennyson, Poet Laureate It was suggested to me that my tour and the information I had gathered might interest others, so I printed for private circulation, in the spring of 1889, a small book, illustrating it with photographs I had taken in the several localities, and with others kindly given me by friends.
