 English Literature - Henry Hallam
Hallam was born in 1777, the son of a dean of Bristol, and was educated at Eton and Christ Church, Oxford.
Hallam considered that the modern Whig constitutionalism was the ideal standard to which all questions should be referred, and may therefore have been too severe on Charles I and some statesmen of his century.
One of the latter, Arthur Henry Hallam (1811-1833), was of most brilliant promise, and has been lamented by his friend Tennyson in the most exquisite elegy in the English language.

Arthur Hallam's was the most important of these friendships.
Hallam, another precociously brilliant Victorian young man like Robert Browning, John Stuart Mill, and Matthew Arnold, was uniformly recognized by his contemporaries (including William Gladstone, his best friend at Eton) as having unusual promise.
Hallam's death from illness in 1833 (he was only 22) shocked Tennyson profoundly, and his grief lead to most of his best poetry, including In Memoriam, "The Passing of Arthur", ÒUlysses,Ó and ÒTithonus.Ó

 Alfred Tennyson
Late in 1833, after the shock of Hallam's death at twenty-two from a cerebral hemorrhage, Tennyson drafted the "Morte d'Arthur." At the time of his death, Hallam was engaged to marry Tennyson's sister Emily whom he had met during their four-year friendship.
As John Rosenberg notes, Hallam was "dead too young to have shaped a life in public" so he "lived posthumously as a prince of friends, a king of intellects." Interestingly, the draft of "Morte d'Arthur," which was later incorporated into "The Passing of Arthur," appears in the same notebook as In Memoriam.
Arthur's idealism reflects the need for a sustaining purpose in the Victorian era as well as the sometimes foolish utopian hopes associated with the time (Eggers 21).

In this same year he entered Trinity College, Cambridge, where in 1829 he became friends with Arthur Henry Hallam, a sophisticated, charming and generally admired young man who, after his death in 1833 at the age of 22, would remain in the memory of all who knew him as a person of exceptional promise.
Arthur Hallam encouraged Tennyson to write and publish poetry, claiming, in a notorious review of Tennyson's second volume, Poems, Chiefly Lyrical (1830) in the Englishman's Magazine, that Tennyson's poetry represented a new development, the poetry of 'sensation'.
Hallam was right, however, in recognising the originality in the “vivid, picturesque delineation of objects” in poems like 'Mariana' and 'Recollections of the Arabian Nights', and the peculiar skill with which they are “fused…in a medium of strong emotion”.

The dead Arthur's memory of his time on earth might be unremittingly vague; he might have to "learn himself anew/Beyond the second birth of Death" because he no longer recalls the "use of 'I' and 'me'" that he acquired and used while living.
The correlation between the memory of the newly dead Arthur and the memory of the newly born infant is underscored further in the phrase "the second birth of Death." Following birth, the infant undergoes a process whereby it learns to use "I" and "me," a process that inaugurates the use of the symbolic in memory.
Following Arthur's death, the objects and phenomena that the two men experienced together are infused with greater meaning for the speaker because they re-present the lost Arthur and, by standing in the gap left by him, psychically restore him.
