In Memoriam, The Princess, And Maud (1902)

By Alfred Tennyson

Book Overview

In Memoriam, The Princess, and Maud is a collection of three poems by Alfred Lord Tennyson, first published in 1850, 1847, and 1855 respectively. The poems explore themes of grief, love, and societal expectations. In Memoriam is a long elegy written in memory of Tennyson's friend Arthur Henry Hallam, while The Princess is a narrative poem about a princess who starts a women's college and falls in love with one of her male students. Maud is a dramatic monologue about a man who falls in love with a woman named Maud and the tragic consequences that follow. Tennyson's poetry is characterized by its musicality and vivid imagery, and these three works are no exception. The collection is a testament to Tennyson's skill as a poet and his ability to capture the complexities of the human experience.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
