Alfred Tennyson was an English poet who is regarded as a major poet of the Victorian age. He lived during an age of great scientific advancement. He used his poetry to unravel the conflict between religious faith and increasing number of scientific discoveries. Tennyson has drawn the subject matter for his poems from a variety of sources, such as observations of nature, classical myths, medieval legends and domestic situations. He has also worked on using the quantitative meters from Greek and Latin poetry into English. Some notable works of Tennyson include Timbuctoo, the Lotos-Eaters, the Lady of Shalott, and Ulysses. This book provides comprehensive insights into the poetry of Alfred Tennyson. It will serve as a valuable source of reference for graduate and postgraduate students of English literature.
