Published to mark the bicentenary of Alfred Tennyson's birth, these
essays offer an important revaluation of his achievement and its
lasting importance. After several years in which the temper of
criticism has been largely political (and often hostile towards
Tennyson in particular) a number of influential recent accounts of
Victorian poetry have rediscovered the virtues of a closer style of
reading and the benefits and pleasures of an approach that, without
at all ignoring social and cultural contexts, approaches them
through a primary alertness to textual detail and literary history.
This volume, including entirely commissioned work by a wide range
of critics and scholars from across the profession in both Britain
and North America, seeks to bring such forms of attention to bear
on the immense variety of Tennyson's career by exploring the
complex and multiple connections between Tennyson and other writers
- his predecessors, his contemporaries, and his successors.
Collectively, the essays describe an intricate network of
affiliation and indebtedness, resistance and reconciliation. They
provide a unique assessment of Tennyson's origins, work, and
imaginative legacy as he enters upon his third century.
