Tennyson and Tradition
Author: Robert PattisonPublisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 9780674874152
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
Here is an analysis of Tennyson's major poetry that clarifies the poet's relationship to the artistic traditions he so extensively exploited and so radically modified. It is a portrait of Tennyson as manipulator, not mere borrower, of forms. Tennyson and Tradition traces the threads that at the same time unite Tennyson's work and tie it to the traditions the poet believed he had inherited. Pattison shows why Tennyson considered the venerable idyll form a fitting vehicle for his modern portraits--above all the Idylls of the King. Analysis of In Memoriam brings further understanding of Tennyson's poetic credo.
Tennyson and Swinburne as Romantic Naturalists
Author: Kerry McSweeneyPublisher:
ISBN: 9781487577698
Category : English poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The central importance of naturalistic vision - of a sense of man's life as part of nature - is emphasized in this study of the poetry of Tennyson and Swinburne. In tracing this vision, Professor McSweeney makes a series of qualitative distinctions leading to a revaluation of the achievements of both poets. McSweeney begins with an examination of Swinburne's critical and creative response to Tennyson, revealing Swinburne's perception of the effect that Tennyson's suppression of naturalistic vision and his consequent overemphasis on morality and metaphysical speculation had on his poetry. A brief discussion of Tennyson's response to Swinburne is followed by an analysis of the literary climate of the 1820s and 1830s, necessary for an understanding of the central feature of Tennyson's artistic development: the complex mutation which transformed him from a wholly Romantic poet into a largely Victorian one. Tracing the development of Tennyson's poetry, McSweeney examines some of the best-known works, including 'The Lady of Shalott, ' 'The Hesperides, ' 'The Two Voices, ' and 'The Lotos Eaters, ' and supplies analyses of In Memoriam and Idylls of the King. A thematic overview of Swinburne's canon generates an examination which substantiates the argument that his poetry, contrary to George Meredith's opinion, possesses an 'internal centre.' Close readings o four of the most important poems of the second half of Swinburne's career, By the North Sea, Tristram of Lynesse, A Nympholept, and The Lake of Guabe, are included. This book places the two poets in the central tradition of Romantic naturalism and will be of interest to specialists in nineteenth-century literature as well as those interested in English literature in general.
Alfred Tennyson

Book Description
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."
The Artistry and Tradition of Tennyson's Battle Poetry
Author: Timothy J. LovelacePublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135886008
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
Many readers are aware of Alfred Tennyson's treatment of legendary battles in such poems as Boadicea, The Revenge, Battle of Brunanburh, and Achilles over the Trench. Yet among Tennyson's most neglected works are his first battle poems, pieces that reflect the poet's immersion in the literature of the heroic age. J. Timothy Lovelace argues that Tennyson's war poems reflect image patterns of the Illiad and Aeneid , and reinvigorate the heroic ethos that informs these and other ancient texts. Highlighting the heroic aspects of Maud and the Idylls of the King , this book shows that Tennyson's early grounding in the Homeric tradition greatly influenced his later, celebrated work on martial subjects.

ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 203
Book Description
'The Age of Tennyson' by Hugh Walker is an examination of the literary period from 1830 to 1870. While this time is often referred to as the Tennysonian era, the book explains why it ended over twenty years before Tennyson's death. The volume highlights Tennyson, Browning, Arnold, and Ruskin as the survivors into a new period but includes sketches of their later works as well. The book's main focus is on the greater men of the era and their search for truth and understanding, as seen in science, psychology, and the development of clear and precise writing.
