Mr. Tennyson's Drama

By Henry James

Book Overview

Mr. Tennyson's Drama is a book written by James Henry. The book is a literary analysis of the works of Alfred Lord Tennyson, one of the most prominent poets of the Victorian era. In this book, James Henry explores Tennyson's poetic style and themes, delving into his use of language, imagery, and symbolism. The book also examines Tennyson's personal life and the historical context in which he wrote, providing insights into the poet's inspiration and motivation. Mr. Tennyson's Drama is a comprehensive study of Tennyson's work, and is a valuable resource for students and scholars of English literature.Every one, it seems to us, has been justified---those who hoped (that is, expected), those who feared, and those who were mainly surprised. ""Queen Mary"" is both better and less good than was to have been supposed, and both in its merits and its defects it is extremely singular. It is the least Tennysonian of all the author's productions; and we may say that he has not so much refuted as evaded the charge that he is not a dramatic poet. To produce his drama he has had to cease to be himself.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
