Abstract
The Thesis comprises an Introduction, three Chapters, and a Conclusion. The Introduction includes a background to the Victorian Age and its main characteristics. The first chapter elaborates the first stages of Tennyson’s poetic career and gives much attention to the sense of conflict between despair and hope and many relative feelings. In the second chapter, Tennyson’s longest poem In Memoriam has been introduced as the exemplary poem of the Victorian age as it includes the issue of tension between science and religion, faith and doubt, the human experience of despair and anxiety, the conditions of the middle class, and the interest in culture. The third chapter focuses on some features of the Tennysonian poetics in the context of simplicity and the choice of characters, lyric quality, imagery, meter, dramatic monologue, and poetic sensibility. The conclusion confirms that Alfred Tennyson deserves to be the representative poet of the Victorian age.
