More about the book
The book presents a fresh perspective on Tennyson, suggesting that his poetry is underpinned by metaphysical scepticism rather than a mere endorsement of spiritual values. It connects his work to Enlightenment rationality and the cultural shifts of his time, arguing that traditional interpretations overlook his intellectual depth. By closely analyzing Tennyson's manuscript drafts and key poems such as In Memoriam and Maud, the study aims to enrich the understanding of his contributions to literature, making it a valuable resource for scholars and students alike.
