Mem. Hallam Tennyson, Alfred Lord Tennyson: A (2 vols}, London and New York, r897 RBM R. B. Martin, Tennyson: The Unquiet Heart, New York and Oxford, 1980 Ricks Christopher Ricks (ed.), The of Ten'!)lson, London, 196g

r. On the poetic association with which Baumber's Farm is wrongly credited, Tennyson wrote, 'The Moated Grange is an imaginary house in the fen; I never so much as dreamed ofBaumber's farm as the abode ofMariana, and the character ofBaumber was so ludicrously unlike the Northern Farmer, that it really makes me wonder how any one can have the face to invent such stories' (Mem. l.4-5). 2. She gave him £roo p.a. until long after his marriage (RBM. 6o). 3· The hexameters of Leonine verse are divided equally, the word before the caesura rhyming with the last word of the line. 4· 'As for "The Lover's Tale", that was written before I had ever seen a Shelley, though it is called Shelleyan', Tennyson told his son Hallam (Mem. 11.285). Hallam states that the poem was written in r827, when Tennyson was seventeen (Mem. l.48, 11.239}, but the evidence that it was written in his nineteenth year ( r827-8) and worked on at various times until r 832 (Ricks, goo) seems more convincing. Shelley's poetry was discussed at the Cambridge Union in May r829; the Apostles' debate on his poetry took place on 21 November that year, and five days later Sunderland, Hallam, and Milnes travelled to Oxford to argue the superiority ofShelley's poetry to Byron's in an inter-university debate that evening (Peter Allen, The Cambridge Apostles: The Earf;y rears, Cambridge, 1978, p. 50). The fact that little was known about Shelley by the Oxford students lends support to Tennyson's statement. 5· In Maud (II.iv) the invocation is to Christ, as ifTennyson recalled the old lyric 'Westron winde, when wilt thou blow, The smalle raine downe can raine? Crist, if my love wer in my armis, And I in my bed againe.' 6. W. L. Paden, in Ten'!)lson in Egypt: A Stut!J of the Imagery of His Earlier Work, Lawrence, Kan., 1942, p. 157, refers to three peaks that, according to G. S. Faber, were characteristic of holy mountains, and hence oflands of the blest, in mythology. There could be an allusion to the Trinity. 7. Told by Hazlitt in Sketches of the Principal Picture-Galleries of England (Complete Works, ed. P. P. Howe, vol. X. 68---9). 8. See the note written by Wordsworth on 'The Thorn' for the r8oo edition of Lyrical Ballads. The reference is to judges v.27, the second of the three passages he quotes.

9· For the narrators, see the opening of section i, the passage which follows the song 'Thy voice is heard' and introduces section v, and the cancelled passages: Ricks, 75I, 8oi, I768-9. IO. The statement made by Tennyson late in his life, denying personal feeling in this lyric (Mem. II. 7g)·, suggests that he had forgotten how closely connected it was with regret for Hallam's death. Seep. 22 of'Tennyson's Life' and p. 2gg of 'Epilogue'. II. Undoubtedly a recollection of 'the casement at the dawn of light, Began to show a square of ghastly white' when Hero is about to leap into the sea and join her drowned lover, at the end of Leigh Hunt's 'Hero and Leander'. I2. Tennyson told S. E. Dawson in I882 that these songs were not an afterthought: 'Before the first edition came out, I deliberated with myself whether I should put songs in between the separate divisions of the poem; again I thought the poem will explain itself; but the public did not see that the child, as you say, was the heroine of the piece, and at last I conquered my laziness and inserted them.' I g. See E. F. Shannon, Notes and Q.ueries,june I959· The poem has a Lincolnshire setting, but is 'a simple invention as to place, incidents and people' (Mem. II.g79). I4. For this and other details, seeP. G. Scott, Tennyson's '': A Victorian Best-Seller, Lincoln (The Tennyson Society), I970. I5. The Offences against the Person Act (D.J.

THE STORY OF THE PRINCESS

(I) Rejected by the princess to whom he had been betrothed in childhood, a Northern prince whose father had threatened a war in reprisal steals away with his friends Cyril and Florian, confident of success after seeing Gama, her father, king of the South. From him he learns that, moved by two widows, Lady Psyche and Lady Blanche, to believe that women are men's equals though treated like children, she had withdrawn to his summer palace, near the prince's frontier, to found a university for women. Returning north, the three young men disguise themselves as women, and reach the college entrance at midnight. After inquiring about tutors' merits, they leave a written request that three ladies of the Northern empire should be admitted as Lady Psyche's students, and then retire to bed.

(n) At dawn academic silks are brought, and they are escorted to Princess Ida, who shows them the statues in the hall, not of women such as men desire, but of brave heroines. They must drink knowledge deeply, and learn to be noble, not slaves. Statutes have been read to them, prohibiting for three years correspondence with home, departure from the king's domain ('the liberties'), and conversation with men. They join Psyche's class, and Florian recognises her as his sister; her baby Aglai:a sleeps near her, as she lectures on women's evolution from prehistoric times and on various forms of their subjection to men. She looks forward to the time when women and men will be 'Two heads in council' at home, in the affairs of the world, in science and the arts. At the end of the lecture she beckons the three, recognises Florian, and asks how he had missed the inscription over the entrance, LET No MAN ENTER IN ON PAIN OF DEATH. The prince discloses himself and his purpose, and he and Florian appeal movingly to her kinship with the North. The secular emancipation of half the world depends on her, she answers, but she promises help if they will leave as soon as possible. She admits that it was duty which made her speak as she did, and they are busy with family recollections before discovering that Lady Blanche's daughter Melissa (who promises not to tell) has overheard Appendixes 253 all. The prince and his friends then attend lectures on classical poetry (with its 'jewels five-words-long That on the stretched forefinger of all Time Sparkle for ever') and all that is known of man and nature. Cyril (who admires Lady Psyche) admits that he is smitten by Cupid's shaft. After dinner, and a stroll in the gardens (where they overhear students say their May is passing, that they wish to marry, and men hate learned women), they attend chapel with six hundred maidens in purest white, and hear the great melodious organ accompanying psalms and litanies, composed by Ida, beseeching Heaven to bless her work.

(m) Melissa warns that her mother, jealous of Psyche, suspects the truth, and Cyril gains time by offering Lady Blanche advantages at the Northern court. The three masqueraders are invited to join the princess on an academic expedition, and the prince takes the opportunity on the way to plead his own cause. She scorns the suggestion that her work may prove vain after sacrificing love, children, and happiness. She would do anything to expedite the accomplishment of women's freedom, but accepts the succession of events in the shadow ofTime, though she believes that 'all creation is one act at once' and 'was, and is, and will be, are but is'. After pitching their tent on flowery levels beneath a crag, they engage in geological research near the heights, Cyril with Psyche, Florian with Melissa, and the prince with the princess.

(IV) At sunset they descend to the tent, where a maid sings 'Tears, idle tears' in response to Ida's request for a song. The princess has no time for the past, and invites the prince to sing a song of promise, to which he responds with '0 Swallow, Swallow'. She prefers songs for great ends, wishing mock-love and mock-Hymen were 'laid up like bats' until men regard women, not as vassals or babes to be dandled, but as 'living wills', whole in themselves and 'owed to none'. When a song on Northern women is requested, Cyril begins a tavern-catch which embarrasses the ladies and makes the prince interject 'Forbear, Sir', and strike him. The ladies flee, intent on taking to their horses, but are checked when the princess misses a plank and falls into the stream. After rescuing 'The weight of all the hopes of half the world', the prince meets Florian in the college grounds, and learns that Melissa, on being questioned whether she or her mother or Lady Psyche was aware of their deceit, had neither affirmed nor denied. They are caught and taken before Princess Ida, who 254 A Tennyson Companion dismisses Blanche, after listening to her voluble complaints in self­ defence. Psyche has fled, and Ida decides to take charge of the infant Aglai:a. Letters arrive, indicating that Ida's father has fallen into the hands of the prince's father, who intends to keep him as a hostage for his son, and threatens war unless the latter is returned. The prince pleads love and her father's letter of introduction in excuse for his actions. Students pour in, announcing the enemy's approach, but the princess is resolute; she thanks the prince for saving her life, but has him and Florian ejected.

(v) They soon reach the Northern camp, and change their female attire for armour. Cyril has already arrived with Psyche, whom he had overtaken. She laments their breach offaith, even more the loss of Aglai:a. Finding his father bent on war, the prince urges gentleness; their opposition reflects their attitudes to women. Gama, now freed, urges him to discuss the position with his son Arac, leader of the Southern army. The result is a decision for arbitrament by combat, fifty against fifty. Ida agrees, her answer being carried to the prince, whose life she asks Arac to spare: he risked his life for her, and his mother still lives. Plumed and empanoplied, the mounted combatants fight in the lists, Arac overcoming all he meets, finally Florian, Cyril, and the prince, who falls unconscious.

(v1) Holding Aglai:a, Ida hails the victors from the palace roof; she then descends with a band of students to tend those patriots who have been wounded for her cause. By chance she passes near the unhelmeted prince, lying pale with his father by him. The king, his beard stained with his son's blood, holds up the picture and tress of the princess which the prince had worn round his neck since their betrothal. Ida asks permission to have him tended with her countrymen in the palace, and Psyche implores her to return her child. Her Cyril adds his entreaties, and the princess reluctantly assents. In response to Arac and her father, she forgives Lady Psyche. Again she asks the Northern king to let her tend his son; then, reminded of other wounded, she orders the palace doors to be opened to friend or foe. The prince is taken to a remote upper chamber, where he will not be disturbed. All students except some of the sagest return home until happier times, and great lords from both armies walk in and out as they please.

(vn) The college has become a hospital, and a kindlier influence Appendixes 255 reigns. Princess Ida's world, as she gazes alone from the roofs on the armies that darken 'her female field', seems blank and waste, however, until she comes down and finds peace among the sick. Blanche has gone, leaving Melissa, who attends Florian frequently with Lady Psyche. Love strikes at will on man and maid in the sacred halls, and Ida yields to the prince's plea that she kiss him ere he dies. Her dilemma is solved when she discovers that in ceding to love she has won a whole-hearted supporter of her cause. D. SELECT BmLIOGRAPHY
