Come poeta laureato per gran parte del regno della regina Vittoria, la poesia ammaliante di Alfred Lord Tennyson incarnava l'epoca vittoriana e Selected Poems è curato con un'introduzione e note di Christopher Ricks. "Nella fauce della morteNella bocca dell'infernoCavalcarono i seicento"Le opere in questo volume ripercorrono quasi sessant'anni della carriera letteraria di uno dei più grandi poeti del diciannovesimo secolo e mostrano l'ampia varietà di forme poetiche da lui padroneggiate. Questa selezione presenta integralmente alcune delle opere più famose di Tennyson, tra cui Maud, che descrive una tragica storia d'amore, e In Memoriam, un profondo tributo al suo più caro amico. Estratti da Idylls of the King mostrano una passione per tutta la vita per la leggenda di Artù, riscontrabile anche nell'onirico The Lady of Shalot e in Morte d'Arthur. Altre opere rispondono ad eventi contemporanei, come Ode on the Death of the Duke of Wellington, scritta nel ruolo ufficiale di Tennyson come Poeta Laureato, o la patriottica Charge of the Light Brigade, mentre Locksley Hall fornisce una visione utopica del futuro e la tarda poesia Crossing the Bar è una meditazione inquietante sulla sua stessa mortalità. Nella sua introduzione, Christopher Ricks discute aspetti della vita e delle opere di Tennyson, le sue revisioni delle sue poesie e la sua amicizia con Arthur Hallam. Questa edizione include anche una cronologia, ulteriori letture e note. Alfred Lord Tennyson (1809-1892) nacque a Somersby, Lincolnshire, sesto di undici figli. Il suo primo libro importante, Poems, Chiefly Lyrical, fu pubblicato nel 1830 e non fu un successo di critica, ma i suoi due volumi di Poems, del 1842, che contengono alcune delle sue opere migliori, lo consacrarono come il poeta più importante della sua generazione. Se ti è piaciuto Selected Poems, potresti apprezzare Lyrical Ballads di William Wordsworth e Samuel Taylor Coleridge, anch'essi disponibili presso Penguin Classics. "Aveva l'orecchio più fine di qualsiasi poeta inglese dai tempi di Milton" TS Eliot.

Alfred Lord Tennyson was born in 1809 at Somersby, Lincolnshire, the sixth of eleven children of a clergyman. His first important book, Poems, Chiefly Lyrical, was published in 1830, and was not a critical success, but his two volumes of Poems, 1842, which contain some of his finest work, established him as the leading poet of his generation. T. S. Eliot wrote of Tennyson: ‘He has three qualities which are seldom found together except in the greatest poets: abundance, variety and complete competence. He had the finest ear of any English poet since Milton.’ After a short illness Tennyson died in 1892 and was buried in Westminster Abbey.
Christopher Ricks is Warren Professor of the Humanities, and Co-director of the Editorial Institute, at Boston University. He is the author of Milton’s Grand Style (1963), Tennyson (second edition, 1989). He is also the editor of The Poems of Tennyson (second edition, 1987), The New Oxford Book of Victorian Verse (1987), A. E. Housman: Collected Poems and Selected Prose (1988), Inventions of the March Hare: Poems 1909–1917 by T. S. Eliot (1996), The Oxford Book of English Verse (1999), and Selected Poems of James Henry (2002).
