A century ago Tennyson had begun to be dismissed as a poet whose
work embodied everything the modern world was looking to leave
behind. He still seems to readers to embody the substance of the
Victorian era more fully than any other poet-but nowadays that is
again counted in his favour. Critics continue to find layers of
complexity in poems once thought simplistic-while appreciating with
fresh ears Tennyson's aural mastery. This new edition includes the
two long poems "In Memoriam" and "Maud: A Monodrama" in their
entirety, all the short poems for which Tennyson remains famous and
a generous selection of his lesser-known poetry, together with a
concise introduction to the poet and his work and substantial
headnotes for "In Memoriam", "Maud" and "Idylls of the King".
Unlike other editions that provide a selection of Tennyson's work,
this one includes both marginal glosses of obscure or archaic words
and phrases and extensive annotations at the bottom of each page.
Appendices of visual material are also included.
