Excerpt from The Quarterly Review, Vol. 176: January and April, 1893Fifty years ago Lord Tennyson rose above the °on of parody, of satire, of depreciatory criticism. Since 1 42 his fame has more than once suffered a temporary eclipse. Yet, for half a century, he has been the central figure in a great period of literature, in turn the Tyrtaeus, the Theocritus, and the Virgil of the nation, the articulate voice, which gave the fullest utterance to the heart of a people, speaking with conscious authority because behind his words lay the sympathy and con fidence of the English race. The spectacle offered by his funeral in Westminster Abbey did not prove that rather than statesmen or men of science, are the legislators of the world, but it unquestionably did reveal the undisputed personal supremacy of the religious thinker, moral teacher, and patriotic singer, whose mysterious, icturesque figure was scarcely known to one in ten thousand nglishmen.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
