Reviews

Letters and Lives of the Tennyson Women is the result of rigorous and painstaking scholarship. The editors prudently retain the period's variable spellings and grammar, and provide informative commentaries to connect the letters. -- Dinah Roe * The Times Literary Supplement *


Letters and Lives of the Tennyson Women is the result of rigorous and painstaking scholarship. The editors prudently retain the period's variable spellings and grammar, and provide informative commentaries to connect the letters. -- Dinah Roe * The Times Literary Supplement * A major contribution to Tennyson studies ... expanding what we know of the biographical influences upon Tennyson's work, whilst simultaneously allowing the poet's talented and resourceful female relations to speak for themselves. * British Association of Victorian Studies *
