| Description: |
This biography reveals a magnetic, emotional and intellectually restless young man, shaped by a troubled family, passionate friendships and unhappy love affairs. Above all, Holmes explores Tennyson's fascination with the revolutionary scientific ideas transforming the nineteenth century: evolution, geology, deep time, astronomy and the possibility of a godless, unpitying universe.
Tennyson confronted questions that remain strikingly relevant today: human mortality, extinction, loneliness, depression, faith and the future of humanity.
Young Tennyson transforms our understanding of a great poet, revealing the extraordinary imagination and modern anxieties behind his most enduring work. |
