Tennyson's Poetry (Norton Critical Editions)

Thanks

Added to my personal Library

my son loves to read and this is one of his favorites. quick delivery

Excellent selection of poetry. Nice size book, easy to carry with you. My husband and I both love poetry and own a collection of books. This is lovely to take with us when we go hiking or for a picnic. Yes, we are romantically.

You cannot beat the Norton Critical Editions for criticism.

Thanks!

This was a beautiful help for research, and a wonderful addition to my poetry collection.

The second edition of "Tennyson's Poetry" as edited by Robert W. Hill is not going to win much praise when it comes to the editing of the poems. There are two excellent reviews at Amazon by Paul B. and D. Tomlinson that cover the problems with the editing and I can not add anything to them.Nonetheless, I think the book has some solid qualities. While there are some omissions and the collection does seem to go a bit too in depth with some of Tennyson's earliest poems, Hill includes most of the major poems, a good selection of minor ones and does restore "The Princess" to a place of importance. The annotations and notes are excellent. So are the various essays by experts ranging from T.S. Eliot to Gertrude Himmelfarb to an excellent contribution by Hill himself.While the various notes and essays do not completely redeem the work, they are an excellent--and accessible--resource for readers and students who want to understand Tennyson better. The second Norton edition is flawed but there are more assets here than strikes against it. There are better editions out there (the Longman edition edited by Christopher Ricks and the Oxford one with Adam Roberts come to mind) but this one is valuable.

A fairly priced selection that has something useful & thoughtful insights. This edition can be used purposefully by students and general readers alike.

Do note that when you order this book you get the Viva Books printed edition made for Indian subcontinent only. Hence the low price. Norton books printed abroad will cost at least ₹1000. For the cheaper price you get cheaper quality paper , so be aware of the trade off . This won’t be the nice to touch and hold Norton edition

A very nice book packed with power of rhyme and rhythm, of Tennyson.
