    The collected works of Alfred Lord Tennyson.

    Alfred Tennyson was the Poet Laureate for most of Queen Victoria's reign, securing great success during his lifetime. His poems still live on, with him becoming one of the most popular British poets ever. His writing career lasted for almost seventy years, first publishing in 1827, and continuing to publish up until his death in 1892. His works, with its medievalism and visual imagery, was a major influence on the Pre-Raphaelites.
