Produktbeschreibung
A quiet awakening. A modern reader can hear Tennyson's living voice in a fresh edition that honours the past while inviting tomorrow's appreciators. Alfred Tennyson, as rendered by Andrew Lang, gathers a poetry collection that moves with the seasons, sea-mirmurs of mortality, and the quiet myths that haunt Victorian England. The work balances lyric immediacy with a scholar's fidelity, offering verses that reward attentive reading and casual dip-ins alike. Its themes-nature and seasons, elegy and memory, myth and legend-speak to both the heart and the mind, inviting study for students and enjoyment for curious readers. This edition marks a turning point in appreciation and accessibility. Its restoration restores nuances of cadence, allusion, and tone, making the poems breathe clearly for today's audience and for future generations. Acknowledging the period's conversations-nearly echoing the influence of contemporaries such as Robert Browning-this volume stands as a touchstone of nineteenth century britain and Victorian poetry at large. It is more than a reprint; it is a collector's item and a cultural treasure, a seedbed for appreciation, discussion, and scholarly reference. Whether you are gathering a classic-literature library, pursuing academic poetry anthology study, or simply seeking a tour through contemplative verse, this edition invites you to return to a revered era with renewed clarity and wonder. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, it is restored for today's readers and for those yet to discover its quiet genius.
Autorenporträt
Andrew Lang (1844.1912) was a prolific Scottish author, poet, historian, and literary critic whose works spanned genres ranging from folklore to biography. Renowned for his scholarly contributions to English literature, Lang brought a unique blend of erudition and narrative flair to his writings. His biographies of literary figures such as Alfred Tennyson reflect his deep understanding of their works and historical contexts. Born in Selkirk, Scotland, Lang was educated at Balliol College, Oxford, where he developed a passion for classical studies and literary criticism. Over his career, he authored numerous essays and books that explored themes in mythology, anthropology, and Victorian literature. His dedication to preserving cultural heritage is evident in his famous Fairy Books, which collected tales from around the world.
