Pertence à Série da Editora
One of the most comprehensive surveys of Tennyson's poetry yet available for the serious student. It includes selections from the 1830, 1832 and 1842 volumes, together with songs from "The Princess"; "In Memoriam"; complete poems from the middle period, and a generous offering from the late period. The authoritative texts are based on the Cambridge Tennyson; additional selections have been taken from Sir Charles Tennyson's editions of Tennyson's "Unpublished early poems" and "The devil and the lady", as well as the Eversley edition, with notes by the poet's son. The texts of the poems are copiously annotated and the lines of poetry conveniently numbered for easy reference. The critical essays include significant statements on Tennyson as well as interpretations of the major poems. A special feature is Georg Roppen's essay on Tennyson and the theory of evolution. Other critical voices are those of A.C. Bradley, Harold Nicolson, Douglas Bush, Arthur J. Carr, T.S. Eliot, Paull F. Baum, John Killham, F.E.L. Priestley and Francis Golffing.

I thoroughly enjoyed Tennyson's poems, especially The Lady of Shalott, The Lotus-Eaters, and In Memoriam. His poetic style is rhythmic and simple and pleasant, and his themes are emotional, as he deals with loss and grief and sadness. The Lady of Shalott is Medieval and The Lotus-Eaters is Greek mythology. Initially, I sensed he may be an orthodox Christian, but a little research explained how his faith was more emotional than rational, and I can definitely see that.
I am making a mental note that if I ever read more poetry, I will read Tennyson! ( )
