Description

A clear introduction to a pivotal figure and a complex era, The Age Of Tennyson invites readers to walk the streets of Victorian Britain through the eyes of a perceptive critic. This is no fevered tribute but a careful, human encounter with Tennyson's moment-a scholarly monograph that reads with both warmth and acuity. Hugh Walker's study offers a concise yet powerful literary criticism of the poet's milieu, presenting a Victorian literary history that serves as a reliable tennoned map for both casual readers and serious students. The book surveys the Tennyson era overview with clarity, weaving victorian poetry analysis into a broader late 19th century britain context. It doubles as an edwardian poetry context resource for university study, and its accessible prose makes it a welcome companion for an academic reading list or a first encounter with the era's sensibilities. Its significance rests not only in its precise readings, but in its lasting cultural resonance. The Age Of Tennyson is a carefully restored work that respects the spirit of its time while rendering it intelligible to today's readers. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, it stands as more than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. For both the avid collector and the new reader, this book offers a durable, insightful window into Victorian Britain and the broader poetic era overview that continues to shape literary study.
