Laureate Straggly Tennyson Aldworth
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the distinguished visage of Alfred Tennyson, England's Poet Laureate, in his later years. Taken at Aldworth, his beloved home in Ticehurst, East Sussex, the photograph offers a poignant glimpse into the life of one of the most celebrated poets of the Victorian era. The image showcases Tennyson's signature straggly beard and disheveled, yet captivating, profile. His piercing gaze and furrowed brow suggest a man deeply immersed in thought and creativity. Born on August 6, 1809, in Somersby, Lincolnshire, Tennyson's poetic talents were discovered at a young age. He went on to publish his first collection, "Poems Chiefly Lyrical," in 1830, which garnered critical acclaim and established his reputation as a promising poet. Throughout his illustrious career, Tennyson produced a vast body of work, including classics such as "In Memoriam A.H.H." and "The Charge of the Light Brigade." He was appointed Poet Laureate in 1850, a position he held until his death in 1892. This photograph, taken towards the end of Tennyson's life, serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring legacy of this literary giant. His impact on the English literary landscape is still felt today, and his works continue to inspire and captivate audiences around the world.
