I have no idea why Tennyson’s poetry is held in such high regard. The Arthurian stuff and The Merman were basically the only things worth reading, and even then, much of the Arthurian poems were a chore to read. I would not recommend anyone read anything by Tennyson.

Poetry is far from my area of expertise. I love to read a good poem, but I read poetry so rarely that I can hardly call myself an expert. With Tennyson, I find I have a bit of a mixed relationship with his work. Some I really enjoy, whereas others I don’t care much for. Thus, I’m going to refrain from writing a full review about the individual pieces. Just know, some are better than others, and my ratings of the individual poems work to reflect that.
