Letters to Frederick Tennyson (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781025794297)

"Letters to Frederick Tennyson" offers an intimate glimpse into the life and mind of a significant Victorian figure and poet. As the eldest brother of the Poet Laureate Alfred, Lord Tennyson, Frederick Tennyson maintained a distinct literary voice and a fascinating personal journey, much of which was spent in Italy. This collection, edited by Hugh J. Schonfield, compiles correspondence that illuminates Frederick's perspectives on art, poetry, and the social milieu of the 19th century.

Through these letters, readers can explore the intellectual exchanges and emotional depth of a writer who, while living in the shadow of his brother's immense fame, contributed significantly to the cultural fabric of his time. The letters serve as a valuable primary source for scholars of Victorian literature and history, providing context on the Tennyson family dynamics and the broader literary circles of the era. This volume captures the essence of a cultured and contemplative life expressed through the elegant art of Victorian letter-writing.
