Papers, 1831-1909.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/20188602

Letters of Alfred, Lord Tennyson, of his brother, Frederick Tennyson, and of Hallam Tennyson, son of Lord Tennyson. Fourteen letters from Alfred Tennyson to Sophy Rawnsley are largely personal, although one expresses Tennyson's reluctance to become poet laureate. Other letters of Tennyson contain references to the possible publication of his poems in the United States, the value of his poetry, the presentation of one of his volumes to Queen Victoria, and other literary matters. Letters of Frederick Tennyson refer to the death of his father and to the early publication of his brother's poems. Letters of Hallam Tennyson, most of which are to Theodore Watts-Dunton, contain allusions to the works of his father. Other correspondents include Hall Caine, Sidney J. Low, Lewis Morris, Vernon Randall, M.H. Spielmann, and Theodore Watts-Dunton, writing concerning the publication of articles and reviews on the works of Tennyson and rumors of his possible resignation as poet laureate.
