ALFRED LORD TENNYSON 



A STUDY OF HIS LIFE AND WORK 

 By ARTHUR WAUGH, B.A. Oxon. 



In One Volume, with Twenty Illustrations and Five Portraits, price 6s. 



The Times. — "It contains evidence of a faithful study of Tennyson's 

 literary career ; it displays an intimacy with Tennyson's poems such as we 

 should expect from one who aspires to be his biographer ; and Mr. Waugh's 

 discriminating judgments have evidently cost time and thought, and proceed 

 from a critical faculty of no mean order." 



The Athenaeum. — " A charming monograph." 



The Saturday Review. — "We must congratulate Mr. Arthur Waugh 

 . . . his book is one which can be warmly recommended. It is scholarly 

 and unhysterical ; the narrative part is a remarkably full and careful cento 

 taken from the journals, memoirs, and correspondence of the age, arranged 

 in excellent taste ; and the criticism ... is sound and wholesome. . . . 

 Until the present Lord Tennyson's life of his father is completed ... we 

 do not know how any one who writes about Tennyson, or desires to test 

 his relation to his age at any given time, can afford to neglect Mr. Waugh's 

 work." 



The Daily Chronicle. — "An interesting and well-written book, the 

 work of one who has studied Tennyson's poetry with faithful devotion. 

 . . . Mr. Waugh has told his tale with accuracy and good judgment. . . . 

 Mr. Waugh's analysis of the ' Idylls ' is excellent, and his accounts of the 

 various dramas are interesting." 



The Daily Telegraph. — "The author has performed the task he has 

 set himself with singular propriety and grace. There is always a fascina- 

 tion in enthusiasm so worthily centered as Mr. Waugh's, and it cannot be 

 doubted that his book, glowing as it does with love for the work of the 

 Master, will find readers both numerous and sympathetic." 



The Academy. — "Mr. Waugh brings to the writing of biography a 

 delicacy of feeling not too common among modern biographers. . . . He 

 has that first quality of the true biographer, delicacy; he has likewise 

 , . . the gift of accuracy, and he is able to tell his tale pleasantly. . . . 

 His book tells us admirably all that is essential about the life of Tennyson." 



The Observer. — " Mr. Waugh's book is no mere hastily-compiled work 

 to meet a sudden public demand ; it is a very careful and critical survey of 

 Lord Tennyson's life and work. . . . The volume is done with loving care 

 and skill. Mr. Waugh has evidently been long a student of Tennyson." 



The National Observer. — "Sets forth clearly and well whatever is 

 known of the late Laureate, . . . and is certain to be widely read and 

 generally appreciated." 



The World. — "By no means a hasty work, but a careful and con- 

 scientious piece of literature which is well worth reading on its own merits. 

 It seems that Mr. Waugh has been studying Tennyson a long time, and 

 even for those who know the poet's writings well, he has much to say that 

 will prove alike instructive and interesting. The book contains some 

 excellent illustrations, which add considerably to its value, and may be 

 safely recommended to every class of readers."
