Not the best bio of a most interesting person

Back in May of 1981 I read Tennyson: The Unquiet Heart, by Robert Bernard Martin, and I thought that was the perfect biography. Because I had such good memories of that great book, I decided to read this bio by Peter Levi. It does a good job, but whether I am not as interested in Tennyson as I was in 1981 or what, I did not enjoy the book as much. In my youth I committed to memory a few of Tennyson's poems (including Locksley Hall) and that memorization has been a source of enjoymnet to me for many years.
