Synopsis
Excerpt from Tennyson's "in Memoriam"; Its Purpose and Its Structure: A Dissertation Presented to the Philosophical Faculty of the University of Leipzig
The Sonnets of Shakespeare are among the most vexed phenomena of the dramatist's career. This-is not the place to discuss the ever-open question who is their hero and how far they are autobiographical: their ground of comparison with In Memoriam lies in the fact that they portray a very re markable love of their author for some male friend, a love which seems to take deep hold of the poet's life, and whose expression in ever-varied forms of thought and imagery calls forth all the resources of his art.
That Tennyson had himself during the experience which In Memoriam records compared his love for Arthur Hallam with Shakespeare's love for his unknown friend is, as seems to me, evident from the remarkable allusion to Shakespeare, In Memoriam LXI. 3.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the structure and purpose of Tennyson's In Memoriam, a work that memorializes the author's friend Arthur Henry Hallam through a series of poems written over 17 years. It establishes that the work transcends an elegiac tribute, delving into the mysteries of life, death, and the nature of love after loss. Analyzing the interplay of sonnet-inspired intimacy and universally applicable philosophical and theological themes, the book uncovers a remarkable literary construct. The author's personal exploration of grief becomes a vehicle for Victorian-era spiritual and intellectual inquiry, highlighting the transformative power of faith in a divine-human love that transcends all boundaries. Its insights into the complexities of love, bereavement, and the search for meaning in the face of mortality continue to resonate with readers today.
