The letters in this volume describe the most remarkable years in the life of one of the most eminent Victorians - the years during which Tennyson published In Memoriam , was married, and became Poet Laureate.
'As in their first volume of the correspondence (1981) Cecil Lang and Edgar Shannon have done almost all that is humanly possible to render the letters accessible and lively ... they have provided annotations that are models of brevity, wit, and learning.'
