About this book
Alfred Tennyson is by Andrew Lang, who calls his book a brief sketch of the Life of Tennyson with an attempt to appreciate his work. The introduction says the writer has rested almost entirely on the Biography by Lord Tennyson, with his kind permission, and on the text of the Poems. The introduction says the works of the localisers have not been read, and that Tennyson disliked these researches, as a rule.
The text says that as early as 1868 Tennyson heard that written copies of The Lover's Tale were in circulation. The third part, The Golden Supper, is described as suggested by a story of Boccaccio and written in maturity. The text offers an abstract of the Welsh tale in which news is brought into Arthur's Court of the appearance of a white stag, the king arranges a hunt, and Guinevere asks leave to go and watch the sport.
