The works of Poet Laureate and personal favourite poet of Queen Victoria, Alfred Lord Tennyson. Tennyson served as Laureate from 1850 until his death in 1892, making him the dominant poetical voice of the Victorian era. This edition was published just over halfway through his time as Laureate, meaning some of his later works have not been included.
