Tennyson and the Doom of Romanticism

Harvard University Press has partnered with De Gruyter to make available for sale worldwide virtually all in-copyright HUP books that had become unavailable since their original publication. The 2,800 titles in the “e-ditions” program can be purchased individually as PDF eBooks or as hardcover reprint (“print-on-demand”) editions via the “Available from De Gruyter” link above. They are also available to institutions in ten separate subject-area packages that reflect the entire spectrum of the Press’s catalog. More about the E-ditions Program »

“Tucker’s argument is compelling and provocative, and will, I think, motivate a revaluation of Tennyson’s significance. Tucker is wonderful at showing how rich and skillful Tennyson’s poems are. [His] prose is a delight. It is clear, elegant, and often witty. The scholarship is exemplary.”—Carol Christ

“The most authoritative study of the first half of Tennyson’s career…and arguably the best book on Tennyson ever written. As a display of (to paraphrase Tennyson) tracking suggestion through wordy snares to its inmost cell, it is without parallel.”—Clyde de L. Ryals
