Résumé

Résumé : In Alfred Tennyson, Andrew Lang presents a compelling exploration of the life and works of one of Englands most celebrated poets. As Poet Laureate during Queen Victorias reign, Tennyson shaped the literary landscape of the 19th century with his evocative verse and profound reflections on themes such as love, loss, and the passage of time. Langs biography delves into the poets formative years in Lincolnshire, his struggles with personal grief, and his rise to prominence within the Romantic and Victorian literary movements. Through meticulous analysis of works like « In Memoriam » and « The Charge of the Light Brigade », Lang highlights Tennysons mastery of language and his ability to capture the complexities of human emotion. The book also examines his role as a cultural figurehead during an era of rapid social change, offering insights into how his poetry resonated with both the elite and the common reader. Ideal for readers interested in literary biographies, historical analysis, or poetic legacy, this work combines scholarly depth with accessible prose to provide a rich portrait of Alfred Tennysons enduring influence on English literature. Langs thoughtful critique ensures that this biography is not only a celebration of Tennysons genius but also a valuable resource for understanding the broader context of Victorian poetry.

His biographies of literary figures such as Alfred Tennyson reflect his deep understanding of their works and historical contexts.
