By 1850, Alfred Tennyson was not merely the Poet Laureate, a
commercially successful and critically acclaimed author, he was one
of Britain's leading celebrities. Offering new analysis of the
workings of Victorian celebrity, this volume explores the
ever-expanding compass of Tennyson's fame and the efforts of the
poet and others to control this phenomenon. It shows that
Tennyson's retreat from mainland publicity to the secluded Isle of
Wight and his limiting of his social circle to that of family and
like-minded guests, only increased the demand of fans and tourists
for access to the poet. Through an analysis of poetry, paintings,
photography, illustrations, memoirs, reminiscences, diaries,
letters, and newspaper and periodical articles, this book shows
that Tennyson's fashioning of his reluctant celebrity affected not
only his own life and works, but also had an effect on his
celebrity and non-celebrity friends, and on the (self-)construction
of his fans.
