Classical Echoes In Tennyson (1904)

By Wilfred Pirt Mustard

Book Overview

Classical Echoes in Tennyson, written by Wilfred P. Mustard and originally published in 1904, is an exploration of the influence of classical literature and mythology on the works of Alfred Lord Tennyson, one of the most celebrated poets of the Victorian era. The book is divided into chapters that each focus on a particular aspect of Tennyson's work, such as his use of classical allusions, his treatment of mythological figures, and his engagement with ancient philosophical ideas. Mustard draws on a wide range of sources to provide a thorough analysis of Tennyson's work, including close readings of individual poems, comparisons with other poets of the era, and discussions of the broader cultural context in which Tennyson was writing. Throughout the book, Mustard demonstrates how Tennyson's engagement with classical literature and mythology helped to shape his distinctive poetic voice and contributed to his enduring popularity as a writer. This book is a valuable resource for scholars of Victorian poetry and anyone interested in the intersection of classical and literary traditions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
