Considered by Victorians as the finest contemporary poet, Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809–1892) gained much critical favor for his mastery of poetic technique, high-mindedness, and superb natural description. This volume contains a representative selection of his best works, including the famous long narrative poem «Enoch Arden,» as well as a number of important lyrics, monologues, ballads, and other typical pieces. Among these are «The Lady of Shalott,» «The Beggar Maid,» «The Charge of the Light Brigade,» «Break, break, break,» «Flower in the Crannied Wall,» and «Ode on the Death of the Duke of Wellington.» Also here are carefully chosen, uncut excerpts from three longer works: The Princess, «Maud,» and «The Brook.» With this inexpensive volume at their fingertips, students and lovers of poetry can enjoy a substantial sampling of Tennyson's still-admired, widely quoted verse.
