Alfred Tennyson
1842
Andrew Lang's biography captures Victorian Britain's most celebrated poet at the height of his powers, offering an intimate portrait of Alfred Tennyson from his Lincolnshire childhood through his Cambridge years. Written with the critical finesse that made Lang legendary, this volume traces the making of a poetic genius: the early verses that startled mentors, the friendships that shaped his sensibility, and the particular bond with Arthur Hallam that would haunt and define his greatest work. Lang moves beyond mere chronology to examine how personal loss, national identity, and the passing of an era found their voice in Tennyson's evolving verse. This is literary biography as practiced by someone who understood that to know a poet, one must understand the soil from which their imagination grew.
