There is already an extensive Tennyson literature. Of books relating to the scenes connected with his life and works, are Walters’ In Tennyson Land ; Brooks’ Out of Doors with Tennyson ; also Church’s Laureate’s Country , and Napier’s Homes and Haunts of Lord Tennyson . There is a mass of material, both critical and biographical, in Shepherd’s Tennysoniana ; Wace’s Life and Works of Tennyson ; Tainsh’s Study of the Works of Tennyson ; Jennings’ Sketch of Lord Tennyson ; and Van Dyke’s Poetry of Tennyson . Besides these may be mentioned Brightwell’s Tennyson Concordance ; Irving’s Tennyson ; Lester’s Lord Tennyson and the Bible ; also Collins’ Illustrations of Tennyson .
Valuable help for understanding and appreciating In Memoriam is afforded by the volumes on that poem written by Robertson, Gatty, Genung, Chapman and Davidson. Much interesting information is given in Dawson’s Study of “The Princess” ; Mann’s Tennyson’s “Maud” Vindicated ; Elsdale’s Studies in the Idyls ; and Nutt’s Studies on the Legend of the Holy Grail . A collection of Tennyson’s songs, set to music by various composers, has been issued by Stanley Lucas and by Harper & Bros.
