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.
