Alfred Tennyson Tennyson

This collection contains the texts of Tennyson's poems, a critical introduction, and notes.

From the Publisher: This gorgeous new collection gathers into one concise volume the finest work by Queen Victoria's favorite poet. Whether steeped in sensuous melancholy, as in "Maud," or chivalric, heroic, and allegorical, as in "Morte D'Arthur," Tennyson's poetry epitomizes the Victorian age for which he became a spokesperson when named Poet Laureate of England in 1850.

A brief profile of the nineteenth century English poet, Alfred Tennyson, accompanies selections from some of his best known works.
