Críticas:

'The editors are to be applauded for the fullness of this edition ... these letters ensure that Tennyson continues to receive close attention.' Independent

'edited with brio ... it adds immensely to our sense of the life which Tennyson kept so private and put so completely into writing' Sunday Telegraph

' a careful reading of these letters reveals the demeanour of the man ... It is doubly fortunate, then, that the editing of this correspondence is so unobtrusive ... the editors have hit upon the appealing idea of including contemporary descriptions of the man at appropriate moments. And in these accounts the outline from the letters is, as it were, filled in.' Peter Ackroyd, The Times

'As in their first volume of the correspondence (1981) Cecil Lang and Edgar Shannon have done almost all that is humanly possible to render the letters accessible and lively ... they have provided annotations that are models of brevity, wit, and learning.' Clyde de L. Ryals, Duke University. The Modern Language Review

Reseña del editor:

The letters in this volume describe the most remarkable years in the life of one of the most eminent Victorians - the years during which Tennyson published In Memoriam , was married, and became Poet Laureate. His own letters are supported and illuminated by contemporary reviews and descriptions of Tennyson as public figure and private man. A valuable personal insight into the poet whose writings reflect so accurately the exact pitch of his age.
