{"product_id":"tennyson-9781605986487","title":"Tennyson","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlfred Lord Tennyson  Queen Victorias favorite poet  commanded a wider readership than any other of his time. His ascendancy was neither the triumph of pure genius nor an accident of history: he skillfully crafted his own career and his relationships with his audience. Fame and recognition came  lavishly and in abundance  but the hunger for more never left him. Resolving never to be anything except a poet  he wore his hair long  smoked incessantly  and sported a cloak and wide-brimmed Spanish hat.Tennyson ranged widely in his poetry  turning his interests in geology  evolution and Arthurian legend into verse  but much of his work relates to his personal life. The poet who wrote The Lady of Shalott and The Charge of the Light Brigade has become a permanent part of our culture. This enjoyable and thoughtful new biography shows him as a Romantic as well as a Victorian  exploring both the poems and the pressures of his era  and the personal relationships that made the man.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67923488473141,"sku":"ByrdShop_1605986488","price":101.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781605986487.jpg?v=1794105849","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/tennyson-9781605986487","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
