The poet Alfred Tennyson was well known in the district although he lived further a field at Aldworth House, Blackdown, Sussex near Haslemere, where he died on the 6 October 1892, aged 83. He was born in Lincolnshire, the fourth of twelve children. In 1850 he married Emily Sarah Sellwood when he was 41, and in the same year he succeeded William Wordsworth as Poet Laureate. Tennyson had been looking for a place to build a country home c. 1864 and had stayed in Churt and Hindhead while searching for a place of solitude, and an inaccessible place to other people except his friends. In 1868 he laid the foundation stone of his house in Aldworth. He lived at Grayshott Farm while the house was being built and for a short time at Great Stoatley, near Hindhead, and according to the newspaper obituary `frequently sojourned to The White Horse Hotel, where his name can be seen in the Visitor's Book'. He spent almost three months of the summer and early autumn at Aldworth. He wrote while at Aldworth most of Gareth and Lynette

Lord Alfred Baron Tennyson A Brief History of his life and work
Click on image to view a larger version Tennyson was born in Somersby Rectory , Lincolnshire, August 5th, 1809 to the Reverend and Mrs. George Clayton Tennyson LL.D. He was one of twelve children, three of which were poets: Frederick Tennyson , Charles Tennyson-Turner and (himself) Alfred Baron Tennyson. The lineage of this poetically talented family traces back to the Tennysons d'Eyncourt. Both of his parents were considered to have poetic blood. He was brought up on dreams and books and as a child he played imaginatively at being chivalrous knights, which was then transferred onto slates in the form of poems. Alfred was a huge fan of Byron and despaired when he died. Even going so far as to carve "Byron is dead!" on the sandstone to mark what he saw as the end of the world. Tennyson's first poem: "The Flowers in the Garden", was instigated by his brother Charles and based on Thomson's "Seasons". It was the first time he realised that he could write poetry. Ironically, when a child, his grandfather told him his poetry never would earn him money. Little did his grandfather know how revered Alfred would become. He was successful from the beginning and earned ten pounds for his first volume of poetry (a lot of money in the early 19th century - certainly unheard of for a first volume). It was published by J and J Jackson, of Louth. He studied at Trinity College, Cambridge and in 1828 he earned a prize for "Timbuctoo" there. Whilst at college he became friends with Arthur Hallum (an invaluable alliance for his future promotion). Also he wrote "The Lover's Tale" (published 1879) whilst studying.

Alfred, Lord Tennyson I INTRODUCTION Tennyson, Alfred, Lord or Alfred Tennyson, 1st Baron Tennyson (1809-1892), English poet, one of the great representative figures of the Victorian Age. His writing encompasses many poetic styles and includes some of the finest idyllic poetry in the language. Tennyson was born in Somersby, Lincolnshire , on August 6, 1809 . His initial education was conducted largely by his clergyman father, Dr. George Clayton Tennyson. The boy showed an early interest and talent in poetic composition, working original poems in a variety of meters and also successfully imitating the style of such famous poets as Lord Byron, whom he greatly admired. By the time he was 15, Tennyson had produced several blank-verse plays and an epic. Some of his boyhood poetry was published in collaboration with his brother Charles in Poems by Two Brothers II POETIC DEVELOPMENT
In 1827 Tennyson entered Trinity College University of Cambridge . While there he wrote a spirited blank-verse poem, Timbuctoo (1829), for which he received a prize, and published his first book on his own

Stats Biography of Alfred, Lord Tennyson Tennyson, one of twelve children and later a first baron, was born in Somersby, Lincolnshire. From 1875 he attended Louth grammar school, followed, in 1827, by Trinity College, Cambridge where he made perhaps his greatest friendship ever with Arthur Hallam and joined the undergraduate club 'The Apostles'. Here, in 1829, Tennyson - having already published some poems, prior to 1827, anonymously in the ironically entitled Poems by Two Brothers (actually written by Alfred, Frederick and Charles) - won the Chancellor's Gold Medal for English with his poem 'Timbuctoo'.
In 1830 Tennyson and Hallam, along with other Apostle members, travelled to Spain to help in the failed revolution against Ferdinand VII, after which, in 1831, the death of Tennyson's father and the discovery of his debts led, in part, to Tennyson's leaving Cambridge without taking his degree. By this time his Poems. Chiefly Lyrical (1830) had been published and Hallam had become engaged to Tennyson's sister Emily.
In 1833 the second volume entitled Poems was published, but in the same year Hallam came to a tragic end in Venice, caused by a ruptured blood vessel. After this it was to be seven years before Tennyson published again in 1842, during which time he met, fell in love with and became engaged to another Emily; Emily Sellwood, the sister of one of his brother's brides.

When somebody asked how it is that although more effort is devoted at present ot the art of reasoning, more progress was made in earlier time, Epictetus replied, On what is the effort spent now and in what was the progress greater then? For in that on which effort has been spent at present, progress will also be found at present. People at present have been devoting their effort to the study of syllogisms, and in that there is progress. But formerly they devoted their efforts to keeping their governing faculty in conformity with nature; and progress was made in that. Therefore, do not confuse different things, nor when you devote effort to one thing, expect to make progress in another.

It is like finding the best palce to build a road across the moors. We may first send people acros, and see which is the most natural way for them to go, and then build the road that way. Before the calculation was invented or the technique fixed, there was no right or wrong result.

Tennyson succeeded Wordsworth as Poet Laureate in 1850; he was appointed by Queen Victoria and served 42 years. Tennyson's works were melancholic, and reflected the moral and intellectual values of his time, which made them especially vulnerable for later critic.
    Alfred, Lord Tennyson was born in Somersby, Lincolnshire. His father, George Clayton Tennyson, a clergyman and rector, suffered from depression and was notoriously absentminded. Alfred began to write poetry at an early age in the style of Lord Byron. After spending four unhappy years in school he was tutored at home. Tennyson then studied at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he joined the literary club 'The Apostles' and met Arthur Hallam, who became his closest friend. The undergraduate society discussed contemporary social, religious, scientific, and literary issues. Encouraged by 'The Apostles', Tennyson published

BIOGRAPHIES
Last update: November 13 th Lord Alfred 1st Baron Tennyson
(1809 - 1892) U.K.
Writer, poet Born at Somersby, Lincolnshire, he was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge. Here he joined the "Apostles" and became acquainted with Arthur H. Hallam, with whom, in 1832 he traveled in the Continent. He never was open about his homosexuality, but his friendship with Hallam seems to have been dyed with a strong homoeroticism. Hallam died abroad in 1833, and in that year Tennyson began In Memoriam , a work that gives superb expression to his love for his lost friend he mourned for 20 years. Reserved, dignified, in sustained meditation and tender sentiment, yet half revealing here and there a more passionate feeling; expressing in simplest words the most difficult and elusive thoughts (see Cantos 128 and 129), as well as the most intimate and sacred moods of the soul; it is indeed a great work of art. Naturally, being such, it was roundly abused by the critics on its first appearance. The Times solemnly rebuked its language as unfitted for any but amatory tenderness, and because young Hallam was a barrister spent much wit upon the poet's "Amaryllis of the Chancery bar." Tennyson himself, speaking of In Memoriam , mentioned the number of shameful letters of abuse he had received about it.

Writing his first poetry at the age of 8, Alfred Tennyson

Tragically, Hallam died in 1833, causing Tennyson to suffer from profound spiritual depression. Although he did not publish anything for 10 years after the death of his beloved friend, Tennyson became inspired to write In Memoriam (Alfred, Lord). It is possible that the death of Hallam inspired other poems, such as The Two Voices (1834), a philosophical poem about death and immortality (Alfred, Lord).
With such remarkable skill, Tennyson continued to write easily understandable and enjoyable poetry that conformed to popular taste, with works such as Idylls of the King Maud The Princess (1847), and An Ode on the Death of the Duke of Wellington
Queen Mary Harold
(1876), and Becket (1879)on the "making of England." The plays were intended to revive a sense of national grandeur and to remind the English of their liberation from Roman Catholicism.” (Tennyson, Alfred Lord)
