PAGE INTRODUCTORY NOTE, 5 TENNYSON'S LIFE AND POETRY, 8 MISTAKES CONCERNING TENNYSON, 22 TRANSLATIONS OF TENNYSON'S WORKS, 31 INTRODUCTORY NOTE. There is already an extensive Tennyson literature. Of books relating to the scenes connected with his life and works, are Walters' _In Tennyson Land_; Brooks' _Out of Doors with Tennyson_; also Church's _Laureate's Country_, and Napier's _Homes and Haunts of Lord Tennyson_. There is a mass of material, both critical and biographical, in Shepherd's _Tennysoniana_; Wace's _Life and Works of Tennyson_; Tainsh's _Study of the Works of Tennyson_; Jennings' _Sketch of Lord Tennyson_; and Van Dyke's _Poetry of Tennyson_. Besides these may be mentioned Brightwell's _Tennyson Concordance_; Irving's _Tennyson_; Lester's _Lord Tennyson and the Bible_; also Collins' _Illustrations of Tennyson_. Valuable help for understanding and appreciating _In Memoriam_ is afforded by the volumes on that poem written by Robertson, Gatty, Genung, Chapman and Davidson. Much interesting information is given in Dawson's _Study of "The Princess"_; Mann's _Tennyson's "Maud" Vindicated_; Elsdale's _Studies in the Idyls_; and Nutt's _Studies on the Legend of the Holy Grail_. A collection of Tennyson's songs, set to music by various composers, has been issued by Stanley Lucas and by Harper & Bros. Several volumes of selections from Tennyson's writings have appeared as follows: _Ausgewählte Gedichte_, with notes (in German) by Fischer, Salzwedel, 1878; _Lyrical Poems of Alfred Tennyson_, with notes (in Italian) by T. C. Cann, Florence, 1887; _Lyrical Poems of Lord Tennyson_, annotated by F. T. Palgrave; _Select Poems of Tennyson_, and _Young People's Tennyson_, both edited by W. J. Rolfe; _Tennyson Selections_, with notes by F. J. Rowe and W. T. Webb; and _Tennyson for the Young_, edited by Alfred Ainger.
