Synopsis

Excerpt from The Formation of Tennyson's Style

For the texts of Tennyson's suppressed poems and for the variants of all, down to and including In Memoriam, I have made use, principally, of the editions by J. Churton Collins. Happily, since, in the case of the Early Poems at least, these texts were not to be relied on, I was able to collate them all with copies of the original editions. This opportunity I owed to the liberality of Mr. William Allis, of Milwaukee, who very kindly lent me the precious volumes from his private col lection. This study, was substantially complete as it stands, about ten years ago. N o acceptable means could then be found for its publication as a unit. At least, none was found, both pride and poverty interdicting its issue at my own expense, while I preferred indefinite suppression to a dismemberment which would have seriously damaged the connected interest of the whole. I am under peculiar obligation, therefore, to the University of Wisconsin, for the provision which enables me to present these chapters with little to deprecate except my own delinquencies.

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.
