The Suppressed Poems of Alfred Lord Tennyson, Pictorial Edition

The New Atlantian Library’s series of newly illustrated classics is a clever idea, one that I heartily endorse. The bring fresh breath to long-dead tomes, forgotten volumes, and you-should-read-again books. Bravo!

Alfred Lord Tennyson was considered the most popular British poet. According to The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations, Tennyson is the 9th most quoted writer in the English Language. Yet, some of his poems were dropped from collections of his works, never reprinted - that is, until a scholar named J.C. Thomson dug them up. Here are Tennyson’s suppressed works from 1830 to 1868 neatly collected in one volume. What makes this book different from other versions available is that it’s a pictorial edition, each poem illustrated by a photographic still life that reflects the sentiments of the verse. A unique presentation.

Alfred Tennyson, 1st Baron Tennyson, FRS (1809 –1892) was Poet Laureate of Great Britain and Ireland during Queen Victoria’s reign. His famous poems include “The Charge of the Light Brigade” and “Crossing of the Bar.” Among his most recognizable phrases are “'Tis better to have loved and lost/ Than never to have loved at all,” “Theirs not to reason why,/ Theirs but to do and die,” and “My strength is as the strength of ten,/ Because my heart is pure.”
