	SparkNotes: Tennyson's Poetry: Analysis and Themes
		Tennyson's poetic output covers a breadth difficult to comprehend in a single system of thematics: his various works treat issues of political and historical concern, as well as scientific matters, classical mythology, and deeply personal thoughts and feelings.
		Tennyson is both a poet of penetrating introspection and a poet of the people; he plumbs the depths of his own consciousness while also giving voice to the national consciousness of Victorian society.
		As a child, Tennyson was influenced profoundly by the poetry of Byron and Scott, and his earliest poems reflect the lyric intensity and meditative expressiveness of his Romantic forebears.

	The Idylls of the King by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, from Lundy Isle of Avalon by Mystic Realms
		Of blank verse, Tennyson was an exacting critic and a master in a manner as definitely his own as Thomson’s, but with a greater claim to be compared with the finest of English non-dramatic blank verse, that is Milton’s.
		It was, indeed, a misfortune that Tennyson was determined to tie the tin kettle of a didactic intention to the tail of all poems of this period.
		A shadowy figure in the old legends, Tennyson has made him not more but less real, a "conception of man as he might be," Gladstone declared, and, in consequence, of man as he ought not to be in such a dramatic setting.

	Alfred Lord Tennyson: A Brief Biography
		Alfred Tennyson was born August 6th, 1809, at Somersby, Lincolnshire, fourth of twelve children of George and Elizabeth (Fytche) Tennyson.
		In 1853, as the Tennysons were moving into their new house on the Isle of Wight, Prince Albert dropped in unannounced.
		Tennyson suffered from extreme short-sightedness -- without a monocle he could not even see to eat -- which gave him considerable difficulty writing and reading, and this disability in part accounts for his manner of creating poetry: Tennyson composed much of his poetry in his head, occasionally working on individual poems for many years.

	[minstrels] The Eagle (a fragment) -- Alfred, Lord Tennyson

		Yet Tennyson's work is important to include in any consideration of a larger gay literary heritage because of its profound emotional content and stunning beauty, which can still speak to audiences today, even though it was written during a period often considered sexually and emotionally sterile.

	Alfred Tennyson, 1809-1892
		Alfred Tennyson (1809-1892) was acclaimed very early in life as "the greatest poet of our generation, perhaps of our century" (letter of Arthur Hallam to William Gladstone, the future Prime Minister, September 1829).
		Tennyson's longer works, such as his religious poem In Memoriam (1850) and his Arthurian epic Idylls of the King (published in stages over a forty-year period), soon established themselves among the central, canonical works of English literature.
		Tennyson, more than any other British Poet Laureate, gave that oft-derided position a genuine literary distinction, and Tennyson was the first English poet ever given a peerage "for services to literature." His was a unique career in the close interrelations it demonstrates between a highly individual creative artist and the culture of his age.

	The Tennyson Page
		We still look to the earlier masters for supreme excellence in particular directions: to Wordsworth for sublime philosophy, to Coleridge for ethereal magic, to Byron for passion, to Shelley for lyric intensity, to Keats for richness.
		Tennyson does not excel each of these in his own special field, but he is often nearer to the particular man in his particular mastery than anyone else can be said to be, and he has in addition his own special field of supremacy.

	Tennyson and Victorianism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		What made Tennyson so Victorian was his ready acceptance of the mores of his day, his willingness to conform to popular taste, to write a poetry that was easily understood and enjoyed (something that Robert Browning never could, or would, do, although he often said he wanted to).
		Partly as a result of his position as a public and nationalist figure, Tennyson was by far the most popular poet of the Victorian era.
		No poet was ever so completely a national poet: Henry James said in 1875 that his verse had become "part of the civilization of his day." This probably explains why literary opinion turned so sharply against him in the earlier part of the twentieth century, as we reacted against all things Victorian.
