Alfred, Lord Tennyson

3.5/5 ( ratings)

In this series, a contemporary poet selects and introduces a poet of the past. The editors explain in their prefaces their choice of poems and their personal/critical reactions to them.

Alfred, Lord Tennyson was born in Somersby, Lincolnshire, the sixth of eleven children of a clergyman. After a childhood marked by trauma, he went up to Cambridge in 1828, where he met Arthur Hallam, whose premature death had a lasting influence on Tennyson's life and writing. His two volumes of Poems established him as the leading poet of his generation, and of the Victorian period. He was created Poet Laureate in 1850 and in 1883 accepted a peerage.
