Synopsis

Unlock the workings of a poet’s craft through a close study of early Tennyson verse. This scholarly look examines how J. F. A. Pyre traces the development of Tennyson’s distinctive metrical practice and rhythm in his early poems, revealing how form shapes meaning.

The book focuses on versification, rhythm, and the handling of stresses in works like Dora, Michael, and Locksley Hall. It compares Tennyson’s methods with those of Wordsworth, Browning, and others, showing how the poet blends regular patterns with deliberate deviations to create expressive effects. Readers will see how choices in pause, cadence, and line length contribute to the overall tone and movement of the verse.

• Clear explanations of stress patterns, pauses, and spondees in key poems.


• Comparative analysis that situates Tennyson within a broader English and American poetic conversation.


• Examples that illustrate how description, narrative, and lyric moments hinge on metrical decisions.


• Discussion of authorial intent and how revisions reflect shaping the central passages.

Ideal for students of Victorian poetry, scholars of form, and readers curious about how meter and rhythm deliver meaning in early Tennyson.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
