Suppressed Poems of Alfred Lord Tennyson

Book cover
By: (1809-1892)

Suppressed Poems of Alfred Lord Tennyson offers readers a unique look into the renowned poet's earlier works, providing a glimpse into the development of his poetic style and themes. Fans of Tennyson's more popular poems will appreciate the opportunity to explore lesser-known pieces that showcase his talent and creativity. The collection also sheds light on the societal norms and expectations of the time period, as some of the poems were deemed too controversial or risque for publication. Overall, this compilation is a valuable addition to any Tennyson enthusiast's library, offering a deeper understanding of the poet's evolution and the literary landscape of the Victorian era.

Book Description:
To those unacquainted with Tennyson's conscientious methods, it may seem strange that a volume of 160 pages is necessary to contain those poems written and published by him during his active literary career, and ultimately rejected as unsatisfactory. Of this considerable body of verse, a great part was written, not in youth or old age, but while Tennyson's powers were at their greatest. Whatever reasons may once have existed for suppressing the poems that follow, the student of English literature is entitled to demand that the whole body of Tennyson's work should now be open, without restriction or impediment, to the critical study to which the works of his compeers are subjected. - Summary by Editor's Note
