Alfred Tennyson, 1st Baron Tennyson, was one of the greatest poets in the English language and served as Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom for over forty years, from 1850 until his death in 1892. His poetry is celebrated for its musical beauty, its emotional depth, and its engagement with the great themes of love, loss, faith, and the... human condition. Alfred Tennyson - A Collection of Poetry gathers some of his most beloved and enduring works, including poems that have become cornerstones of English literature.
