Remains in Verse and Prose of Arthur Henry Hallam

Remains in Verse and Prose of Arthur Henry Hallam collects the literary writings of the young poet and essayist Arthur Henry Hallam (1811-1833), edited and prefaced by his father the historian Henry Hallam (1777-1859) after the son’s sudden death at twenty-two. Arthur Henry Hallam was Alfred Tennyson’s closest friend at Cambridge, and his death in Vienna in 1833 was the personal loss that produced Tennyson’s In Memoriam. This volume gathers his Cambridge poems, his essay on Tennyson’s early verse, his philosophical and theological writings, and selected letters, with a biographical memoir by his father. The book established Arthur Hallam’s posthumous literary reputation and remains the principal source for his thought. Henry Hallam himself was one of the leading English historians of the early nineteenth century. Free PDF download available on BDeBooks.
