Alfred Tennyson

Beschreibung

A quiet awakening. A modern reader can hear Tennyson's living voice in a fresh edition that honours the past while inviting tomorrow's appreciators. Alfred Tennyson, as rendered by Andrew Lang, gathers a poetry collection that moves with the seasons, sea-mirmurs of mortality, and the quiet myths that haunt Victorian England. The work balances lyric immediacy with a scholar's fidelity, offering verses that reward attentive reading and casual dip-ins alike. Its themes-nature and seasons, elegy and memory, myth and legend-speak to both the heart and the mind, inviting study for students and enjoyment for curious readers. This edition marks a turning point in appreciation and accessibility. Its restoration restores nuances of cadence, allusion, and tone, making the poems breathe clearly for today's audience and for future generations. Acknowledging the period's conversations-nearly echoing the influence of contemporaries such as Robert Browning-this volume stands as a touchstone of nineteenth century britain and Victorian poetry at large. It is more than a reprint; it is a collector's item and a cultural treasure, a seedbed for appreciation, discussion, and scholarly reference. Whether you are gathering a classic-literature library, pursuing academic poetry anthology study, or simply seeking a tour through contemplative verse, this edition invites you to return to a revered era with renewed clarity and wonder. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, it is restored for today's readers and for those yet to discover its quiet genius.
