Excerpt from Tennyson I know not how it is, but I feel isolated here in the midst of society. The country is so disgustingly level, the revelry of the place so monotonous, the studies of the University so uninteresting, so much matter of fact. None but dry-headed.

Excerpt from Sermonettes From Tennyson In these four short studies the writer attempts to Show how Tennyson's teachings may be applied to the conduct of life.

Excerpt from Poems of Tennyson Studies in Tennyson, written at different times, and now revised, enlarged, and reprinted. The doing of this revision has been a curious experience. I find that the youthful enthusiasm of my first pas sion for his work has cooled a little, so that some of the expressions of it need to be moderated. But my conviction of his lofty rank as a poet has not changed except to grow stronger. And the impres sion of his personality, so large and noble, so manly, strong, and free, so vigorously alive to all the manifold aspects of human life, so firm in his loyalties and liberal in his sympathies, so great a lover of nature, humanity, and God, -that vivid impression has.

What hideous warfare hath been waged, What kingdoms overthrown! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Tennyson: A Critical Study For the existence of this book my publishers must be responsible. It seems to me impossible to say anything that is at once new and true about Tennyson. But, having undertaken to write a critical study of him, it seemed to me best to give, as clearly as I could, my own point of view, and for that reason I have abstained from extending my knowledge of the many books which have been written about him by admirable critics. Contemporary criticism of his earlier poems I have studied primarily for its historical interest, and in the process of illustrating it by quotations, I have had to expose my own work to very damaging comparisons.
