	Alfred Lord Tennyson
		It is from 1842 that the universal fame of Tennyson must be dated; from the time of the publication of the two volumes he ceased to be a curiosity, or the darling of an advanced clique, and took his place as the leading poet of his age in England.
		The state of utter indigence to which Tennyson was reduced, greatly exercised his friends, and in September 1845, at the suggestion of Henry Hallam, Sir Robert Peel was induced to bestow on the poet a pension of £200 a year.
		Tennyson's health slowly became restored, and in 1846 he was hard at work on The Princess; in the aututnn of this year he took a tour in Switzerland, and saw great mountains and such "stateliest bits of landskip" for the first time.

	Alfred (Lord) Tennyson
		The life Hallam Tennyson describes was, we know, not lived in the public eye, and was wholly without sensational elements or any of the vapid interests which usually attach to a man whose name is, in a special sense, public property, and about whom the world was eagerly, and often officiously, curious.
		Alfred was from his earliest days a retired, shy child, fond of reading and given to rhyming, and with a characteristic love of nature and of quiet rural life.
		These were all enthusiastic admirers of Tennyson's work and art, and his close personal friends, who have left on record many interesting sketches of the poet in their published writings, or in letters to him, and especially in reminiscences furnished for the Memoir by the poet's son.

	Idylls of the King Alfred, Lord Tennyson Criticism and Essays
		Tennyson is often regarded as the most skilled stylist and most representative poet of the Victorian period, and Idylls of the King is his magnum opus.
		As this interest developed, so did Tennyson's concern that ancient English ideals, as well as society's sense of common decency, were being desecrated by the gradual corruption of accepted morality.
		Furthermore, although they almost universally applauded Tennyson's style and particularly his use of blank verse, critics were divided between those who thought it a worthy companion to Malory and those who found it more play-acting than drama, with the costumes failing to disguise Tennyson's contemporaries and their concerns.

		Alfred Lord Tennyson was the most well known poet of the Victorian Age: an era characterized by its “fantasy / of constraint” (Neptune / Saturn).
		Tennyson joined a Spanish army faction in 1831 in the insurrection against King Ferdinand VII of Spain, and in this capacity he traveled to the Pyrenees (42N40; 1E00), a site directly under Primary Neptune.

	[minstrels] Ulysses -- Alfred, Lord Tennyson
		By all means, I think Tennyson is a wonderful writer and this poem is absolutely gorgeous, but it contradicts a bit with the original story.
		Although Tennyson’s argument is weak when put in context with the original epic, the poem by itself is very beautiful and convincing.
		But with Tennyson, the Poet Laureat of England during its greatest age, when it "ruled the waves," Ulysses is something different.
