EDITED BY ROBERT BELL, AUTHOR OF 'THE HISTORY OF RUSSIA,' 'LIVES OF THE ENGLISH POETS,' no. LONDON: JOHN W. PARKER AND SON, WEST STRAND. T1J.5 ' I hold that no man can have any just conception of the History of England who has not often read, and meditated, and learnt to love the great Poets of England. The greatest of them, such as Chaucer, Shakspeare, Massinger, George Herbert, Milton, Cowley, Dryden, Pope, and Burns, often throw more rich and brilliant colours, and sometimes even more clear and steady lights, on the times and the doings of our forefathers, than are to be gathered out of all the chroniclers together, from the Venerable Bede to the Philosophical Hume. They are at least the greatest and the best commentators on those chroniclers.' — Sir Jama Stephen on Desultory and Systematic Reading. ANNOTATED EDITION Of THE ENGLISH POETS. necessity for a revised and carefully Annotated Edition of the English Poets may be found in the fact, that no such publication exists. The only Collections we possess con sist of naked and frequently imperfect Texts, put forth without sufficient literary supervision. Independently of other defects, these voluminous Collections are incomplete as a whole, from their omissions of many Poets whose works are of the highest interest, while the total absence of critical and illustrative Notes renders them comparatively worthless to the Student of our National Literature. A few of our Poets have been edited separately by men well qualified for the undertaking, and selected Specimens have appeared, accompanied by notices, which, as far as they go, answer the purpose for which they were intended. But these do not supply the want which is felt of a Complete Body of EnglishPoetry, edited throughout with judgment and integrity, and combining those features of research, typographical ele gance, and economy of price, which the present age demands. The Edition now proposed will be distinguished from all preceding Editions in many important respects. It will include the works of several Poets entirely omitted from previous Col lections, especially those stores of Lyrical and Ballad Poetry in which our Literature is richer than that of any other Country, and which, independently of their poetical claims, are peculiarly interesting as illustrations of Historical Events and National customs. By the exercise of a strict principle of selection, this Edition will be rendered intrinsically more valuable than any of its pre decessors. The Text will in all instances be scrupulously col lated, and accompanied by Biographical, Critical, and Historical Notes. THE ENGLISH POETS. An INTRODTJCTORY VOLUME will present a succinct account of English Poetry from the earliest times down to a period which will connect it with the Series of the Poets, through whose Lives the History of our Poetical Literature will be continued to the present time. Occasional volumes will be introduced, in which Specimens, with connecting Notices and Commentaries, will be given of those Poets whose works are not of sufficient interest to be reproduced entire. The im portant materials gathered from previously unexplored sources by the researches of the last quarter of a century will be embodied wherever they may be available in the general design ; and by these means it is hoped that the Collection will be more complete than any that has been hitherto attempted, and that it will be rendered additionally acceptable as comprising in its course a Continuous History of English Poetry. By the arrangements that will be adopted, the Works of the principal Poets may be purchased separately and independently of the rest. The Occasional Volumes, containing, according to circumstances, Poetry of a particular Class or Period, Col lections illustrative of Customs, Manners, and Historical events, or Specimens, with Critical Annotations, of the Minor Poets, will also be complete in themselves. As the works of each Poet, when completed, will be indepen dent of the rest, although ultimately falling into their places in the Series, they will be issued irrespective of chronological sequence. This arrangement will present a greater choice and variety in the selection from month to month of poets of different styles and periods, and at the same time enable the Editor to take advantage of all new sources of information that may be opened to him in the progress of publication. General Title-pages will be finally supplied for combining the whole Collection into a chronological Series. A Volume will be published Monthly, price 2s.6d. in cloth. DRYDEN'S POETICAL WORKS, Vol. I., was published on the 2nd of January. DRYDEN'S POETICAL WORKS, Vol. II., will appear on the 2nd of March.

I have put it second in the pair because that is its right place. Criticisms, com^ ments, interpretations, are of comparatively little use until you have read the poetry of which they treat. Like photographs of places that one has not seen, they lack the reviving, realizing touch of remembrance. The book contains a series of essays, written at dif- ferent times, printed separately in different places, and collected, substantially, in a book called The Poetry of Tennyson, which was fortunate enough to find many friends, and has now, I believe, gone out of print.

  • 'A Flute of Arcady': Autograph Poems of Tennyson's Friend, Arthur Henry Hallam
    'A FLUTE OF ARCADY': AUTOGRAPH POEMS OF TENNYSON'S FRIEND, ARTHUR HENRY HALLAM ROGER EVANS And all we met was fair and good, And all was good that Time could bring. And all the secret of the Spring Moved in the chambers of the blood: And many an old philosophy On Argive heights divinely sang. And round us all the thicket rang To many a flute of Arcady. Tennyson, In Memoriam A.H.H., Section 23 ALTHOUGH Arthur Henry Hallam (fig. i) is granted a column and a half in the pages of the Dictionary of National Biography, he remains a tenuous shade in the national memory. He achieved no conventional academic distinction or position of political or social prominence, he left little that may be called ground-breaking and he fathered no progeny, worthy or otherwise. This said, his early death at the age of twenty-two so profoundly shook the greatest poet of the Victorian age, Alfred Lord Tennyson, and its greatest prime minister, W. E. Gladstone, he was a living presence in their memory to the end of their long lives. More importantly for us, he is a presence in the canon of English literature to be equated with Lycidas and Adonais, for he was the subject of one of the most sustainedly moving elegies in our language, Tennyson's In Memoriam A.H.H. In March 1998 the British Library acquired one of Hallam's notebooks, the most extensive collection of his poetry in his hand to survive and by far the most personal.^ It is a slim volume of some seventy folios, bound in now fragile calf boards, much of the spine gone but with the stitching intact and showing no evidence of having lost any folios except for one which is a mere stub.

    Alfred, Lord Tennyson 1 Alfred, Lord Tennyson The Right Honourable Lord Tennyson FRS 1869 Carbon print by Julia Margaret Cameron Born 6 August 1809 Somersby, Lincolnshire, England United Kingdom Died 6 October 1892 (aged 83) [] Lurgashall, Sussex, England United Kingdom Occupation Poet Laureate Alma mater Cambridge University Spouse(s) Emily Sellwood (m. 1850–w. 1892) Children • Hallam Tennyson (b. 11 August 1852) • Lionel (b. 16 March 1854) Alfred Tennyson, 1st Baron Tennyson, FRS (6 August 1809 – 6 October 1892) was Poet Laureate of Great Britain and Ireland during much of Queen Victoria's reign and remains one of the most popular British poets.[1] Tennyson excelled at penning short lyrics, such as "Break, Break, Break", "The Charge of the Light Brigade", "Tears, Idle Tears" and "Crossing the Bar". Much of his verse was based on classical mythological themes, such as Ulysses, although In Memoriam A.H.H. was written to commemorate his best friend Arthur Hallam, a fellow poet and fellow student at Trinity College, Cambridge, who was engaged to Tennyson's sister, but died from a brain haemorrhage before they could marry. Tennyson also wrote some notable blank verse including Idylls of the King, "Ulysses", and "Tithonus". During his career, Tennyson attempted drama, but his plays enjoyed little success. A number of phrases from Tennyson's work have become commonplaces of the English language, including "Nature, red in tooth and claw", "'Tis better to have loved and lost / Than never to have loved at all", "Theirs not to reason why, / Theirs but to do and die", "My strength is as the strength of ten, / Because my heart is pure", "To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield", "Knowledge comes, but Wisdom lingers", and "The old order changeth, yielding place to new".

Since then no scholarly edition has been attempted. During this time, however, many facts bearing upon the career of Surrey have come to light, a noteworthy biog- raphy has been published, studies dealing with various phases of the poetry have appeared, and manuscript versions of many of the lyrics and two fresh texts of the fourth book of the ^neid have been discovered. The time therefore seems ripe for a new edition that will take advantage of this fresh knowledge, giving more authoritative readings in the poems and furnishing the equipment needed by the scholar. The present volume aims to meet this need.

  • The Letters of Charlotte Mary Yonge
    The Letters of Charlotte Mary Yonge (1823-1901) edited by Charlotte Mitchell, Ellen Jordan and Helen Schinske. 1 The Letters of Charlotte Mary Yonge (1823-1901) Charlotte Yonge is one of the most influential and important of Victorian women writers; but study of her work has been handicapped by a tendency to patronise both her and her writing, by the vast number of her publications and by a shortage of information about her professional career. Scholars have had to depend mainly on the work of her first biographer, a loyal disciple, a situation which has long been felt to be unsatisfactory. We hope that this edition of her correspondence will provide for the first time a substantial foundation of facts for the study of her fiction, her historical and educational writing and her journalism, and help to illuminate her biography and also her significance in the cultural and religious history of the Victorian age. This site currently includes all letters known to us written by Yonge before 1859 (with a few relevant letters by others): further sections will be added in chronological order and the index improved. At present the material is arranged as follows: Contents: THIS EDITION AND ITS EDITORIAL PRINCIPLES ...............................................2 GENERAL INTRODUCTION......................................................................................4 INTRODUCTION TO LETTERS 1836-1849...............................................................6 LETTERS 1834-1849 ..................................................................................................15

"What business has the public to want to know all about Byron's wildnesses?" he once ranted. "He has given them fine work, and they ought to be satisfied." But Byron's poetry, as much as it reveals about the man, has never satisfied the curiosity of his readers; and neither has Tennyson's. Since Tennyson's death, no less than fourteen full or partial biographies of the poet have been published. Two of these, Hallam Tennyson's Memoir (1897) and Sir Charles Tennyson's Alfred Tennyson (1949), are factually indispensable to the Tennyson scholar. A third, Sir Harold Nicolson's Tennyson (1922), is useful for its attempt to defend Tennyson's relevance in this century.
