| Summary: | "This Norton Critical Edition of In Memoriam features the profound nineteenth-century poem by Victorian poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson, with editorial annotations. Written after the passing of Tennyson's close friend Arthur Henry Hallam, the poem addresses themes of grief, death, and loss. The "Background and Contexts" section of this volume provides a better look at the relationship between the two men along with literary inspirations and scientific backgrounds for the poem itself. "Criticism" includes contemporary reviews and modern critical readings, ranging from analysis of the structure and genre of the poem to considerations of Tennyson's sexuality, materiality, and views on scientific challenges to faith. A chronology and selected bibliography are also included"-- |
