Some of the finest Victorian poetry grew out of Tennyson s troubled personal life he and all his eleven siblings suffered some kind of mental health problems, and his beloved friend Hallam died at 22. He succeeded in echoing deep emotions in simple words But a for the touch of a vanish d hand, / And the sound of a voice that is still! and in creating tremendous rhythmic narratives Forward the Light Brigade! / Charge for the guns! he said. The narration of the 24 poems here does Tennyson proud. --Rachel Redford, The Oldie
There s no need to dip into the lesser works in a collection of Tennyson, and Naxos has made a fine selection here, mixing the best known (The Charge of the Light Brigade, The Lady of Shalott, Ulysses, The Lotus-Eaters) with others that will be less familiar to casual readers. One might quibble with some of Michael Pennington's line readings, but he has made thoughtful interpretations, and his voice is quite capable of meeting the musical demands of the poetry. There s nothing new here for Tennyson's fans, but the presentation is a strong introduction to a master's range of style and emotion. --D.M.H., AudioFile
This selection of Alfred, Lord Tennyson poems, chosen by Mick Imlah, is an indispensable introduction to the poet who first wrote the phrases 'Tis better to have loved and lost / Than never to have loved at all', 'Theirs not to reason why, / Theirs but to do and die' and 'Nature, red in tooth and claw'.
