"Exemplifies the best of recent multicultural publishing". -- The Horn Book When her great-aunt, her tia, turns ninety, little Cecilia lovingly gathers together a basket full of memories. "Vibrant, detailed cut-paper illustrations portray family warmth and individuality with verve and panache". -- School Library Journal
This third and final volume of The Letters of Alfred Lord Tennyson, the first collected edition, is notable for the light it throws on Tennyson's efforts as a dramatist and on his interactions with the leading theatre managers, actresses, and actors of the day, especially Henry Irving. The letters reveal his relations with many fellow-authors and literary men, both British and American. An important thread in the volume is his close association with Gladstone; and an extensive correspondence with the Australian, Sir Henry Parkes, reflects his continuing interest in the Empire. The volume ends with his death in 1892. To complete the edition a comprehensive index has been prepared, covering all three volumes. Previous volumes have been warmly praised by critics:
The letters in this volume describe the most remarkable years in the life of one of the most eminent Victorians - the years during which Tennyson published In Memoriam , was married, and became Poet Laureate. His own letters are supported and illuminated by contemporary reviews and descriptions of Tennyson as public figure and private man. A valuable personal insight into the poet whose writings reflect so accurately the exact pitch of his age.
This useful volume presents the major works of the five leading
Pre-Raphaelite poets. Foremost in the collection, and included in
their entirety are D. G. Rossetti's "The House of Life," C. G.
Rossetti's "Monna Innominata," William Morris's "Defence of
Guenevere," Swinburne's "Atalanta in Calydon," and Meredith's
"Modern Love." Complementing these major poems is a fine, generous
selection of the poets' shorter pieces that are typical of their
work as a whole. For this second edition, Cecil Lang has
substituted two early Swinburne poems, "The Leper" and "Anactoria,"
for Fitzgerald's "The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam," These poems, which
the editor describes as "shocking," show a new aspect of Swinburne
not discussed previously.
