1897 The Works Of Alfred Lord Tennyson Antique Leather British Poetry Book

The Works Of Alfred Lord Tennyson
Poet Laureate
Published by MacMillan And Co Ltd: London 1897
In Original Leather & Cloth Bindings

" The Works of Alfred Lord Tennyson brings together the poetry of one of the most celebrated literary figures of the Victorian age. As Poet Laureate of Great Britain and one of the defining voices of nineteenth-century English literature, Tennyson produced works renowned for their lyrical beauty, emotional depth, and mastery of language. This substantial collected edition gathers together the poems that established his reputation, including celebrated pieces such as The Charge of the Light Brigade, The Lady of Shalott, In Memoriam, Enoch Arden, and Idylls of the King, providing readers with a comprehensive survey of his remarkable literary achievement.

Tennyson's poetry explores themes of love, loss, faith, duty, heroism, and the changing nature of society during the Victorian era. His verses reflect both personal reflection and national sentiment, ranging from intimate meditations on grief and mortality to grand retellings of Arthurian legend and patriotic celebrations of courage and sacrifice. The enduring popularity of his work arose from his ability to combine classical elegance with profound emotional resonance, creating poetry that appealed to both contemporary readers and future generations.

Published by Macmillan & Co. in 1897, this handsome edition was issued in an attractive leather and cloth binding suitable for the Victorian family library. Particularly charming is the contemporary Christmas 1897 gift inscription, which provides a direct connection to one of the book's earliest owners and evokes the tradition of presenting fine literary works as treasured gifts during the festive season. More than a century later, the volume remains both an elegant example of late Victorian book production and a fitting tribute to one of England's greatest poets."
