The boundless deep : young Tennyson, science and the crisis of belief

Holmes, Richard, 1945-2025
Book
Alfred Lord Tennyson is now remembered - if he is remembered at all - as the gloomily bearded Poet Laureate, author of such clanking Victorian works as 'The Charge of the Light Brigade', and the mournful author of the lugubrious elegy 'In Memoriam'. In this biography, Richard Holmes reawakens this somnolent Victorian figure, brings him back to sparkling life, and unexpectedly transforms him.
