Announcement: Special Issue of Victorian Poetry – ‘Tennyson and the Poetic Imagination’

Victorian Poetry has published a Special Issue on ‘Tennyson and the Poetic Imagination’, edited by Dr Michael J. Sullivan (Oxford). The Special Issue supplies a re-articulated account of Tennyson’s imagination in its multiple forms: from the global, spatial and auditory to the role of verse form in organic creation. Collectively, these essays offer new perspectives for Tennyson studies as it continues to transform, by interrogating the imaginative process at the core of Tennyson’s intellect. Contributors and essays include:

1. Introduction: Tennyson and the Allegory of Art, Michael J. Sullivan

2. Becoming a Name, Seamus Perry

3. The Charm of Tennyson, Jane Wright
