A very thorough, intelligent, and helpful resource which will make teaching Tennyson much easier! I loved the thoroughness of the introduction and cultural contexts of the poems and the sense of an overview of the role of poetry in the period. I also appreciated the detail in the analysis, which is a godsend! It’s a fabulous resource which will be really useful for anyone teaching Tennyson. A May, English Teacher and Ind. Reviewer
