Book Description
Excerpt from The Life and Times of Tennyson Professor Lounsbury's name, I suppose, is most closely associated by the public with his studies in Chaucer and Shakespeare. His literary taste, however, was singularly catholic. Pope and Dryden, for example, appealed to him strongly because of their pugnacity and the keenness of their satire. Their poems he knew intimately, and he often quoted passages from them in conversation, not always accurately but rather by way of a paraphrase which gave new edge to an epigram. Of later poets the ones he read most were Byron, Browning, and Tennyson. From any one of the three, he would repeat, when in the mood for it, long stretches running to hundreds of verses. Among the poems of Tennyson which he sometimes recited were 'Locksley Hall, ' the 'Ode on the Death of the Duke of Wellington, ' and parts of 'Maud, ' 'The Princess, ' and 'In Memoriam.' Many of the quotations in this volume were first written out from memory. This admiration for Tennyson began in youth and continued through a long life. It was his habit when a schoolboy to clip from the newspaper any new production of the poet and paste it in a scrapbook, first, I daresay, committing the lines to memory; and the most notable essay that he wrote while in college was a defence of 'Maud' against hostile criticism.

Book Description
Excerpt from Tennyson's Life and Poetry: And Mistakes Concerning Tennyson Tennyson's literary career lasted nearly seventy years, for he was a prolific verse writer so long ago as 1825, when a lad of sixteen. His boyish rhymes were published anonymously, along with those of his elder brother Charles, in Poems by Two Braillers. Tl'l'e preface or advertisement of this precious volume was dated March, 1827; the ms. Of the poems went to the printer in 1826. For the manuscript the youths were paid fifteen pounds in money and five pounds' worth of books; a few months after the Laureate's death it was sold (with the receipt) for 480.

Book Description
Excerpt from Tennyson The nineteenth century is well-named the wonderful, for among all the centuries of man's history there is none that can rival it in variety and range of achievement. Tennyson's life almost spanned this great period. He saw the old order change and give place to new in all departments of human activity. When he was archil-d, tra velling, for instance, was still conducted by almost the same means as it had been when, fifteen cen turies earlier, a Roman emperor passed from the remote province of Britain to Rome. 'when steam came, all this was changed. A new age, if only in mechanical power, was come. But with the new external advance in power went the internal or invisible advance - men's thoughts were widened. As the railway-train sped man on to conquests over time and distance, so the onward-speeding thoughts of man were to lead him ever forward, spinning down the ringing grooves of change. The mere catalogue of the new thoughts and new actions would fill a volume. The great body of modern science was developed. The far-influencing theory of Darwin, that all forms of life were developed from fewer and simpler forms through countless ages, was applied to the study of all branches of knowledge, includ ing Religion. Old hereditary rights and privileges gave way more than ever to those founded on human worth, as political power passed from the few to the many. With the passing of power into the hands of the people, there arose also the query, - are not women of the people, too, and shall they not have education, and rights and votes? On all these and a thousand other topics a flood of literature was poured out. Enlightenment spread, and as it spread, unrest necessarily increased: an enlightened populace will not be content with less than its due. Mean while England's over-seas dominions grew - Mel bourne was founded when the poet was twenty six - commerce, too, grew with tremendous rapidity, and brought men of all nations more and more into contact with each other. Despite the numerous wars, there grew steadily the realisa tion of the great truth, proclaimed by both reli gion and science that all men are brothers, in spirit and in flesh.

Book Description
Excerpt from Tennyson: A Modern Portrait MY aim in this book has been to create a living portrait of a poet and a man as I have conceived him after a close study both of his life and his poetry and of their intimate reactions. For twenty years of middle life, the period contained in Part II. And some of Part III. Of this book, Tenny son's poetry supplies the more vital and explicit evidence. In youth and in later life it exists rather as the implicit habit of his life, from which, therefore, I have been careful not to disentangle it.

Book Description
Excerpt from Tennyson, the Story of His Life The Life of a great man cannot be written in one, or even in many, biographies and it is only after the task has been frequently attempted that a measure of success is attainable. Not until we have become thoroughly acquainted with a man's outer life can we with confidence lift the veil, and, entering the inner sanctuary of his being, seek somewhat to understand the secrets of his soul, and learn how they dominate his thought and influence his work.
