Tennyson Among the Novelists Hardback
by Dr John Morton
Part of the Continuum Reception Studies series
Hardback
Description
This is a study of allusions to Alfred Tennyson's poetry in works of fiction from the Victorian period to the present day.
Until now, the study of literary allusion has focused on allusions made by poets to other poets.
In "Tennyson Among the Novelists", John Morton presents the first book-length account of the presence of a poet's work in works of prose fiction.
As well as shedding new light on the poems of Tennyson and their reception history, Morton covers a wide variety of novelists including Thomas Hardy, James Joyce, Evelyn Waugh, and Andrew O'Hagan, offering a fresh look at their approach to writing.
Morton shows how Tennyson's poetry, despite its frequent depreciation by critics, has survived as a vivifying presence in the novel from the Victorian period to the present day.
