The Tennyson exhibit in 1992 marked an important event ?
the Tennyson centenary. Alfred Tennyson (1809-1892) was
acclaimed very early in life as "the greatest poet of our
generation, perhaps of our century" (letter of Arthur
Hallam to William Gladstone, the future Prime Minister,
September 1829). Tennyson's longer works, such as his
religious poem In Memoriam (1850) and his Arthurian epic
Idylls of the King (published in stages over a forty-year
period), soon established themselves among the central,
canonical works of English literature. Many of his shorter
poems, such as "The Brook," "The May-Queen," and "The
Charge of the Light Brigade," entered popular culture as
songs or recitation-pieces. His poetry has spoken to
intellectuals, to aesthetes, and to more ordinary readers
for more than 150 years.
