Seeking to understand Tennyson's poetry as the work of a man
concerned with making and then living up to one of the most famous
names in Victorian literature, Anna Barton offers close readings of
Tennyson's major works. From his obscure beginning as 'A.T.', one
of two anonymous brothers, to the height of his success, when he
held the impressive title 'Alfred Lord Tennyson, DCL, Poet
Laureate', the development of Tennyson's career took place in a
period increasingly aware that a name could command considerable
cultural capital. In the marketplace goods were sold on the
strength of their brand name; in the press the battle for signed
articles was fought and won; and in Victorian drawing rooms young
ladies collected the autographs of family and friends and pasted
them into scrap books. From his early lyrics to his Arthurian
Idylls, Barton argues, the laureate's keen sense of professional
identity forced him to grapple with modern concerns about the
ethics of print in order to establish his own responsible poetic.
Provides a wide-ranging account of the different disciplinary,
critical and theoretical contexts relevant to the study of
nonsense.

This book aims to intervene in current critical contexts for the
study of nineteenth-century literature within the academy and
beyond. Topics discussed include science and technology, poetry and
philosophy, the Gothic, anatomical exhibitions, the global spread
of liberalism, Anglo-American publishing, Punjabi popular culture
and the neo-Victorian in literature, film and performance. By
bringing together a broad range of intellectually challenging
perspectives, the book offers an engaging critical overview of the
field of nineteenth-century literary studies that will appeal both
to scholars working within the field and students and teachers
encountering this fascinating area of study for the first time. --

This book explores the relationship between nineteenth-century
poetry and liberal philosophy. It carries out a reassessment of the
aesthetic possibilities of liberalism and it considers the variety
of ways that poetry by William Wordsworth, Elizabeth Barrett
Browning, Arthur Hugh Clough, George Meredith, Robert Browning,
Matthew Arnold and Algernon Charles Swinburne responds to and
participates in urgent philosophical, social and political debates
about liberty and the rule of law. It provides an account of
poetry's intervention into four different sites where liberalism
has a stake: the self, the university, married life and the nation
state and it seeks to assert the peculiar capacity of poetry to
articulate liberal concerns, proposing poetic language as a means
of liberal enquiry.
