The hazy settings and amorphous auditors of Tennyson's dramatic
monologues are often contrasted-at Tennyson's expense-with
Browning's more vivid, concrete realizations. Hughes argues that
Tennyson's achievements in the genre are, in fact, considerable,
that his influence can be traced in such major figures as T. S.
Eliot, and that the monologue occupies a far more central position
in Tennyson's poetic achievement than has hitherto been
acknowledged. Hughes' study challenges the traditional view of
Tennyson's inferior achievement, and her account of the elements
and operation of the dramatic monologue, especially as demonstrated
by three of its most important practitioners, will be of interest
to all those concerned with the monologue as a poetic mode.
