Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Tennyson
See his son s' Memoir and Tennyson-and hisfriends.land for nearly two-thirds of the nineteenth century, and his in?uence has left on English thought, feeling, imagination, art, and even speech, deep and indelible traces. Opinion has varied, and still varies, as to what is most valuable in his work, and as to his rank in the world of poets. Even 'in Tennyson's lifetime, tliough his popularity was extreme when once he had gained recognition, different opin1ons about him were current, and after his death what has been called the reaction against him in creased. At the present day, there are signs that this is passing, but it cannot be yet affirmed that Tennyson has taken his final rank (as Chaucer, Spenser, and Milton have taken theirs) among the poets of England. That his place, when assigned by Time and the educated judgment of men, will be a high one, few students pf poetry have any. Doubt.
