Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Poetic and Dramatic Works of Alfred Lord Tennyson I: 1842, when Tennyson published in England the two volumes which marked the beginning of his great fame, the predecessors in America of the present pub lichera reissued the volumes, and from that year until 1880 they and their succes sors continued to publish by arrangement the volumes of poetry and drama which appeared from time to time. The present Cambridge edition contains this body of verse, and other poems published later than that date, and includes moreover in the Appendix the pieces from Poems by Two Brothers assigned to Alfred Tennyson, together with the poems from the volumes of 1830 and 1833 and other sources, which have for the most part continued to have currency in America, though dropped from collective editions in England. The volume has been edited by Dr. W. J. Rolfe in general conformity with the previous volumes of the series of Cambridge poets. The editor has brought to his task a long familiarity with the poetry, as evidenced by the several separate works of Tennyson which he has edited both for school use and for the general reader. In this comprehensive work he has given special attention to the text, which in the body of the volume has been made to follow, with most careful revision of minor details such as punctuation, the most authoritative form, and in the Earlier Poems in the Appendix has been compared as far as possible with the original issues and not with later reprints.
