Synopsis

Excerpt from The Formation of Tennyson's Style

For the texts of Tennyson's suppressed poems and for the variants of all, down to and including In Memoriam, I have made use, principally, of the editions by J. Churton Collins. Happily, since, in the case of the Early Poems at least, these texts were not to be relied on, I was able to collate them all with copies of the original editions. This opportunity I owed to the liberality of Mr. William Allis, of Milwaukee, who very kindly lent me the precious volumes from his private col lection. This study, was substantially complete as it stands, about ten years ago. N o acceptable means could then be found for its publication as a unit. At least, none was found, both pride and poverty interdicting its issue at my own expense, while I preferred indefinite suppression to a dismemberment which would have seriously damaged the connected interest of the whole. I am under peculiar obligation, therefore, to the University of Wisconsin, for the provision which enables me to present these chapters with little to deprecate except my own delinquencies.
