Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Gareth and Lynette: And Other Idylls, July, 1903 Biographical details become valuable only when their study is prompted by interest in an author´s work. Then the literature and the man present a unified message, particularly in the case of an author like Tennyson, whose life and personality are so completely identified with his utterances that a study of the man involves thorough acquaintance with his poetry. Alfred Tennyson was born in 1809. His parentage and environment were favorable to the training of a literary artist. His father was a cultured and scholarly clergyman who gave much of his time to the education of his children. Dr. Henry Van Dyke says: "The doors of the ideal world were opened to them very early; they were encouraged to imagine as well as to think; they peopled their play-grounds with lofty visions of kings and knights, and fought out the world-old battles of right and wrong in their childish games, and wove their thoughts of virtue and courage and truth into long romances with which they entertained each other in turn at the dinner-table." Under his father´s instruction Tennyson became a first rate classical scholar. He absorbed from Greek literature a wealth of imagery and allusion that is frequently in evidence in his poetry. More important, probably, was the Greek contribution to his unerring feeling for the right effect, in word, phrase, and rhythm. To Greek nature worship he added the modern scientific appreciation of the wonders of the universe. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
