Summary

Norman Page's selection represents Tennyson's work in many poetic forms over more than sixty years. The poems chosen exemplify Tennyson's dual role as public and private poet--as spokesman for the anxieties of his time, and as an introspective, sometimes neurotic individual. With a substantial introduction, explanatory notes and bibliographic information, this collection is an essential historical introduction and critical commentary on Tennyson.
