Abstract

From the earliest reviews, the trope of music has shaped the image of Tennyson for critics and readers. Tennyson's talent is one that joins voice and ear: Nature […] has taught Mr. Tennyson to sing as a poet should sing, – she has taught him to throw his whole soul into his harmonies. He has a fine ear for melody and harmony too – and rare and rich glimpses of imagination. He has – genius.
