The Social Ideals of Alfred Tenny- 
son as Related of His Time 
By WILLIAM C. GORDON 
|! is rare that two departments of study are combined so cleverly and profit- 
ably as literature and sociology are combined here. The reader sees at 
mce that Mr. Gordon is quite at home in both fields. He reads his Tennyson 
with the discriminating sympathy and sure understanding of a scholar, and 
he handles the sociological categories with practiced ease. In a witty and origi- 
mal chapter he defends the legitimacy of his attempt to employ literature as a 
‘wpus vile for science, and few would care to deny the right to one who himself 
Possesses so pithy a style. The book will be of equal interest to sociologists 
and to students of literature.
