The letters in this volume describe the most remarkable years in the life of one of the most eminent Victorians - the years during which Tennyson published In Memoriam, was married, and became Poet Laureate. His own letters are supported and illuminated by contemporary reviews and descriptions of Tennyson as public figure and private man. A valuable personal insight into the poet whose writings reflect so accurately the exact pitch of his age.
