Subjects: Tennyson Alfred Tennyson Baron 1809–1892 -- Criticism and interpretation;

Tennyson shared the assumptions of his age concerning the value of family life, and treated the domestic as the source of the heroic in both action and character. This book provides a critical examination of these major Victorian themes as they appear in Tennyson's poetry.
