"In Memoriam A H H." is a poem by the British poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson, published in 1850. It is a requiem for the poet's beloved Cambridge friend Arthur Henry Hallam, who died suddenly of a cerebral haemorrhage in Vienna in 1833, aged 22. It contains some of Tennyson's most accomplished lyrical work, and is an unusually sustained exercise in lyric verse. It is widely considered to be one of the greatest poems of the 19th century. The original title of the poem was "The Way of the Soul", and this might give an idea of how the poem is an account of all Tennyson's thoughts and emotions as he grieves over the death of a close friend.…mehr

Alfred, Lord Tennyson was born on August 6, 1809, in Somersby, Lincolnshire, England. He was the fourth of twelve children in the family of George Clayton Tennyson, a clergyman, and Elizabeth Fytche. Tennyson began writing poetry at a young age, influenced by his family's literary interests.¿In 1827, Tennyson enrolled at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he joined the secret society known as the Cambridge Apostles. During his time at Cambridge, he formed a close friendship with fellow poet Arthur Hallam, who became engaged to Tennyson's sister, Emily. This period was significant for Tennyson's development as a poet, leading to the publication of his early works.¿Tennyson's poetry gained prominence, and in 1850, he was appointed Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom, succeeding William Wordsworth. He held this position until his death in 1892, making him the longest-serving Poet Laureate. His works, such as In Memoriam A.H.H. and Idylls of the King, have left a lasting impact on English literature.¿
