This is the first book-length study of Tennyson's record of
publication in Victorian periodicals. Despite Tennyson's supposed
hostility to periodicals, Ledbetter shows that he made a
career-long habit of contributing to them and in the process
revealed not only his willingness to promote his career but also
his status as a highly valued commodity. Tennyson published more
than sixty poems in serial publications, from his debut as a
Cambridge prize-winning poet with "Timbuctoo" in the Cambridge
Chronicle and Journal to his last public composition as Poet
Laureate with "The Death of the Duke of Clarence and Avondale" in
The Nineteenth Century. In addition, poems such as "The Charge of
the Light Brigade" were shaped by his reading of newspapers.
Ledbetter explores the ironies and tensions created by Tennyson's
attitudes toward publishing in Victorian periodicals and the
undeniable benefits to his career. She situates the poet in an
interdependent commodity relationship with periodicals, viewing his
individual poems as textual modules embedded in a page of meaning
inscribed by the periodical's history, the poet's relationship with
the periodical's readers, an image sharing the page whether or not
related to the poem, and cultural contexts that create new meanings
for Tennyson's work. Her book enriches not only our understanding
of Tennyson's relationship to periodical culture but the textual
implications of a poem's relationship with other texts on a
periodical page and the meanings available to specific groups of
readers targeted by individual periodicals.
