Both Tennyson and the term 'Englishness' - coined in 1804 - date
from the same decade and critics identified Tennyson as an English
poet from the first reviews of his published poems in the 1820s. As
Poet Laureate, Tennyson became the authoritative public voice of
English poetry and one of the 'thinking men of England'. By the
late nineteenth century, an ideology of Englishness had been
established which was reflected in and shaped by cultural forces
and emerging myths in general and Tennyson's poetry in particular.
This wide-ranging study examines Tennyson's 'domestic poetry' - his
portrayals of English nature and landscape, monarchy, medievalism,
and the 'English Empire', written throughout his career and in
their changing nineteenth-century context - to confirm that many
representations of England and the English were fabrications, more
idealised than real.
