Poetical Works of Lord Tennyson 1899

Alfred, Lord Tennyson's poetry is celebrated for its rich imagery, musical language, and exploration of timeless human themes such as loss, faith, heroism, and the search for meaning. As Poet Laureate during much of Queen Victoria’s reign, Tennyson became the voice of a generation, reflecting both the grandeur and anxieties of the Victorian era. His works, including In Memoriam A.H.H., The Charge of the Light Brigade, Ulysses, and The Lady of Shalott, display a masterful command of form and emotion. Blending classical references with contemporary concerns, Tennyson’s verse often grapples with the tension between doubt and belief, progress and tradition, and the enduring power of memory and grief. His legacy endures as one of the foremost figures in English poetry, admired for the elegance and depth of his language.
