Tennyson was acclaimed in his own day as the chief poetic voice of his age, and he remains one of the most highly regarded masters of the music and mood of poetry. This edition selects extensively from Tennyson's entire career, beginning with his striking juvenilia, through his career as Poet Laureate through to the powerful poetry he wrote in his ninth decade. It contains over 60 poems, including such classics as 'The Lady of Shalott', 'Morte d'Arthur', 'Break Break Break', 'Locksley Hall', 'Ulysses', 'The Charge of the Light Brigade' and 'Tears, Idle Tears'. It also includes in its entirety Tennyson's quasi-feminist epic 'The Princess', as well as the whole of In Memoriam, Maud, Enoch Arden, and several of the Idylls of the King.
