Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Orley Farm
It is a relief to alight now and then on a poem which is distinguished as much by its simplicity as by its depth, and in which one idea is embodied and set forth humanly. Tannhauser fully answers this description, and is further enjoyable in that the idea round which it centres is noble, and the music in which it is sung most harmonious. Take it for all in all we have not looked upon its like for some time.'-literary Gazette.
