Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Commentary Upon Tennyson´s in Memoriam It is impossible to reveal in adequate form the genius of a great master of either prose or poetry by mere abstract description, however faithful in conception or forceful in presentation that description may be. The concrete study of the poets alone reveals their power - the power of Dante in the Divine Comedy, Goethe in Faust, Shakespeare in Hamlet, Milton in Lycidas, Tennyson in In Memoriam. The first edition of In Memoriam was published in 1850, the year of Wordsworth´s death and of Tennyson´s accession to the office of Laureate. While many verbal or phrasal emendations have marked the fastidious revisions of the poet, there have been few additions to the body of the work. The most noteworthy of these is probably the section designated in later editions as No. 39, which was incorporated into the text in 1869. Among the supreme achievements of elegiac English poetry, In Memoriam assumes the first place. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
