Autorenporträt
Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892), more commonly known as Alfred, Lord Tennyson, was one of the most renowned poets of the Victorian era. Born in Somersby, Lincolnshire, England, Tennyson was appointed Poet Laureate in 1850, succeeding William Wordsworth. Over his lengthy career, Tennyson's work was both celebrated and scrutinized by the public and literary critics. He is known for his vivid imagery, mastery of lyrical forms, and acute sensitivity to the evolving spiritual and social landscape of his time. Among his notable works is the narrative poem 'Maud' (1855), which delves into themes of love, despair, and the pondering of life's existential questions. Tennyson's innovative use of verse and introspection provides a window into the self-turmoil and societal pressures of the protagonist, making 'Maud' a compelling study of psychological depth and Romantic tragedy (Gray, 1992). With a legacy anchored by classics like 'In Memoriam A.H.H.' and 'The Charge of the Light Brigade,' Tennyson's influence extends beyond his tenure as Poet Laureate, cementing his status as a cornerstone of English literature (Hill, 1989). His literary style, characterized by its rich musicality and exploration of perennial human concerns, continues to resonate and be analyzed in contemporary literary discourse (Tucker, 1994).
