This set was printed during Tennyson's lifetime. STILL BOUND IN THE ORIGINAL FULL LEATHER BINDINGS FROM 1865. Full leather binding where more expensive to produce.These are the original bindings. Tennyson was the Poet Laureate of Great Britain and Ireland during much of Queen Victoria's reign, and still remains to this day one of the most popular British poets. "More than any other Victorian writer, Tennyson has seemed the embodiment of his age, both to his contemporaries and to modern readers. In his own day he was said to beā "with Queen Victoria and Gladstoneā "one of the three most famous living persons, a reputation no other poet writing in English has ever had. As official poetic spokesman for the reign of Victoria, he felt called upon to celebrate a quickly changing industrial and mercantile world with which he felt little in common, for his deepest sympathies were called forth by an unaltered rural England; the conflict between what he thought of as his duty to society and his allegiance to the eternal beauty of nature seems peculiarly Victorian."
