Tennyson's precision and delicacy of language has aecured him a place among the great poets of England.
Alfred, Lord Tennyson was a more complex writer than his status as Queen Victoria’s favorite poet might suggest. Though capable of rendering rapture and delight in the most exquisite verse, in another mode Tennyson is brother in spirit to Poe and Baudelaire, the author of dark, passionate reveries. And though he treasured poetic tradition, his work nevertheless engaged directly with the great issues of his time, from industrialization and the crisis of faith to scientific progress and women’s rights. A master of the short, intense lyric, he can also be sardonic, humorous, voluptuous, earthy, and satirical.This collection includes, of course, such famous poems as “The Lady of Shalott” and “The Charge of the Light Brigade.” There are extracts from all the major masterpieces—“Idylls of the King,” “The Princess,” “In Memoriam”—and several complete long poems, such as “Ulysses” and “Demeter and Persephone,” that demonstrate his narrative grace. Finally, there are many of the short lyrical poems, such as “Come into the Garden, Maud” and “Break, Break, Break,” for which he is justly celebrated.
The Wordsworth Poetry Library comprises the works of the greatest English-speaking poets, as well as many lesser-known poets. Each collection has a specially commissioned introduction.

Alfred Tennyson tvoril časti svojho diela na rôznych miestach, tak ako mu prichádzali na um jednotlivé okolnosti jeho priateľstva s Arthurom Henrym Hallamom. Nemal v úmysle publikovať ich ako celok, k tejto možnosti dospel, až keď si uvedomil, koľko veršov na túto tému už napísal. V úvode sa zračí obdobie intenzívneho žiaľu za priateľom, presvedčenie, že za ním bude smútiť neustále. V raných fázach trúchlenia spochybňuje prežitie duše a existenciu posmrtného života. No hoci v tomto bode nedospieva k viere, ktorú nachádza v závere básnickej skladby, a vnútorne bojuje s tým, že vedecké poznatky môžu existenciu Boha aj vyvrátiť, napokon dospieva k súladu a prijíma náboženstvo a vieru. Pripúšťa, že biologický vývin je evolúciou Božieho zámeru s človekom a so zemou: Máme len vieru, čo si nie je istá, / veď naša znalosť stále čelí tme, / no predsa v tvoju veľkosť veríme, / lúč v temrave: nech rastie do zlatista.
Die Idyllen des Königs reflektieren Tennysons tiefes Interesse an Artus-Themen und verkörpern den universellen Konflikt zwischen Sinn und Seele. Arthur wird als Ideal von Männlichkeit und Königtum dargestellt, was mit den moralischen Vorstellungen seiner Zeit übereinstimmt. Tennysons poetischer Stil, stark beeinflusst von Romantikern wie Keats, zeichnet sich durch eine einzigartige Feinheit und subtile metrische Effekte aus. Diese Ausgabe basiert auf dem von Tennyson autorisierten Text und bietet einen umfassenden kritischen Apparat, der das Werk in einen breiteren literarischen Kontext stellt.
