Review

'This dictionary, as wide as an encyclopedia, is sure to be often consulted as a reliable and enjoyable source of information.' - Reference Reviews Journal'This very useful book gives a near complete account of all Tennyson's works and all the people he knew...Much industry, knowledge and research has gone into the making of the excellent dictionary.' - Lincolnshire History and Archaeology'...it is certainly the case that, with this dictionary, the editors' encyclopaedic knowledge has placed all Tennysonians in their debt and provided a work of reference to which we shall all have profitable recourse for the forseeable future.' - The Tennyson Society

Long Description

Tennyson was the most important poet of the Victorian age. His long life covered most of the nineteenth-century, he knew the key Victorian figures and was deeply involved in Victorian science, religion, philosophy, politics and culture. His life and poetry give a unique insight into the period. For the first time, the Palgrave Literary Dictionary gives easy access, under more than 400 headings, to an enormous range of information on his poetry, his circle, the period and its contexts. We have aimed above all for readability: this is no dry reference work but includes anecdotes and lively mini-biographies. Entries range from brief factual definitions to longer, more discursive essays and cover poets, from Burns to Wordsworth, places, from America to Wales, and themes, from Friendship to War, as well as abundant information on individual poems and wider poetic themes. Students will quickly find the academic, biographical or critical information they need, while more general readers can browse and gain a rich and fascinating picture of this amazing era in our history.
