Selected Poems

A larger collection. It begins with an introduction detailing the poet’s life, including his birth in 1809, his education, early personal tragedies, and his eventual appointment as Poet Laureate. The majority of the source material comprises numerous excerpts from his major works, such as "Enoch Arden," "The Princess," "In Memoriam A. H. H.," and the complete "Idylls of the King" cycle, which retells the Arthurian legends. Additionally, it features shorter, notable pieces like "The Charge of the Light Brigade," "The Lotos-Eaters," and his reflective poem, "Crossing the Bar," alongside explanatory notes providing context for mythological, historical, and literary references. Overall, the text offers a comprehensive but extracted overview of Tennyson's diverse poetic themes and mastery of form.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/book_shelterGet the Book now from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Selected-Penguin-Classics-Alfred-Tennyson/dp/0140424431?&linkCode=ll1&tag=cvthunderx-20&linkId=86fa7cca9e0458dad991d0a370381035&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tlProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
