Tennyson by Christopher Ricks

This is the only fully annotated and comprehensive selection of Tennyson’s poetry. Acknowledged as a major achievement of editorial scholarship, it has established itself as the standard edition of Tennyson. The collection contains in full all four of Tennyson's long poems: The Princess, In Memoriam, Maud, and Idylls of the King. Other key works are included from Mariana, The Lady of Shallott, Morte d'Arthur, Ulysses, and Tithonus through Tennyson's middle life and the Ode on the Death of the Duke of Wellington, to his last years and Crossing the Bar.

"Professor Ricks' second edition of the complete Poems of Tennyson is the best edition this century of the best poet of the last century"                                                          The Sunday Telegraph   

"Ricks's magnificent Tennyson."                                                                                   Professor Adrian Poole, Cambridge University

"In his line he is the best in the business and his achievement in his edition of Tennyson is just about as good as you can get."                                                                       Professor Frank Kermode

Christopher Ricks is Warren Professor of the Humanities at Boston University and Professor of Poetry at the University of Oxford. He is also a prolific author.
