Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Selections From Tennyson, Dickens, Keats, Lamb, Wordsworth, Byron, Goldsmith, Burns, Sir Roger De Coverley Papers, Milton, Bacon: With Portraits and Biographical Sketches Alfred Tennyson, the most famous English poet of the latter half of the nineteenth century, was born August 6, 1809, in the village of Somersby, in Lincolnshire, England. He was one of a large family of children, and at least one of his brothers showed also poetic genius. His father was rector of the English church in the quiet English village, and the young poet grew up in the shelter of a refined home. Mrs. Ritchie, a daughter of Thackeray, tells a pleasant story of the family life: - "These handsome children had, beyond most children, that wondrous toy at their command which some people call imagination. The boys played great games like Arthur´s knights; they were champions and warriors defending a stone heap, or again they would set up opposing camps with a king in the midst of each... When dinner-time came, and they all sat round the table, each in turn put a chapter of his history underneath the potato bowl, - long, endless histories, chapter after chapter, diffuse, absorbing, unending, as are the stories of real life of which each sunrise opens on a new ∂ some of these romances were in letters like Clarissa Harlowe. Alfred used to tell a story which lasted for months, and which was called The Old Horse" When Alfred and his brother Charles were scarcely more than boys, they published a book under the title Poems by Two Brothers. A year after this little book came out, Alfred Tennyson was entered as a student at Trinity College, Cambridge, and there he formed friendships which lasted through life, though one friend, Arthur Hallam by name, the dearest of all, and the promised husband of Tennyson´s sister, died in 1833. But he is connected with Tennyson´s memory more than all who lived, for his death so moved the poet as to keep him silent for ten years.
