Excerpt from Alfred Tennyson
In accordance with the plan of this series, I have taken up all the important briefer poems of Tenny son, giving the text itself with interpretive comment, somewhat in the manner of one who should read aloud from the poet to a company gathered by the evening fire, supplying such preliminary information and criticism as might be helpful to the listeners. I have also tried to give some account of the general character and structure of the great works which are too extensive to be represented by giving their full text, - the I dylls, I n M mar-ism, Maud, and The Princess,-so that any readers who care to use this book in connection with a volume of Tennyson's complete poems may find here a guide for those works. But this does not include the dramas, which form a group of independent interest hardly appro priate to the present purpose.
