Autorenporträt
Alfred Tennyson, 1st Baron Tennyson, was a prominent English poet whose work defined much of Victorian literary culture. Born in Somersby, Lincolnshire, in 1809, he showed early literary promise and went on to win the Chancellor's Gold Medal at Cambridge for his poem Timbuktu in 1829. Tennyson became Poet Laureate in 1850, succeeding William Wordsworth, and held the title for over four decades, during which he composed some of the most enduring poetry in the English language. His work often explored themes of heroism, loss, and the tension between faith and doubt, capturing the spirit and anxieties of the Victorian era. Some of his most famous poems include In Memoriam A.H.H., The Charge of the Light Brigade, and Ulysses. Tennyson was also deeply influenced by classical mythology, medieval legends, and the works of earlier poets such as Shakespeare and Keats. He was elevated to the peerage in 1884, becoming the first poet to accept a hereditary title. Tennyson passed away in 1892 in Lurgashall and was buried in Westminster Abbey's Poets' Corner, cementing his legacy as one of Britain's greatest literary figures.
