About This Item
Thomas Y.crowell, 1885-01-01. Hardcover. Very Good. 8x5x0. Volume 1. Bound in floral pictorial cloth with gilt ornate decoration. Top edge gilt. Hardcover. Shelf wear. Pages unmarked. <br> "More than any other Victorian-era writer, Tennyson has seemed the embodiment of his age, both to his contemporaries and to modern readers. In his own day he was said to be, with Queen Victoria and Prime Minister William Gladstone, one of the three most famous living persons, a reputation no other poet writing in English has ever had. As official poetic spokesman for the reign of Victoria, he felt called upon to celebrate a quickly changing industrial and mercantile world with which he felt little in common, for his deepest sympathies were called forth by an unaltered rural England; the conflict between what he thought of as his duty to society and his allegiance to the eternal beauty of nature seems peculiarly Victorian. Even his most severe critics have always recognized his lyric gift for sound and cadence, a gift probably unequaled in the history of English poetry." - Poetry Foundation
