After a childhood marked by trauma, he went up to Cambridge in 1828, where he met Arthur Hallam, whose premature death had a lasting influence on Tennyson's life and writing. His two volumes of Poems (1842) established him as the leading poet of his generation, and of the Victorian period. He was created Poet Laureate in 1850 and in 1883 accepted a peerage.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBAuthor: Alfred, Lord TennysonGenre: Literary CriticismBook Series: Poet to PoetTopic: Poetry & DramaRelease Year: 2004 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
