certain British Brigade during the Crimean War in 1854. In his 1854 poem, The Charge of the Light Brigade, Alfred Lord Tennyson describes the Battle of Balaclava where the British march into their untimely death. Tennyson ends the poem with a significant few lines that read, “Honor the charge they made/Honor the light Brigade/Noble six hundred.” (Lines 53-55). By looking at the last sentences Tennyson writes in his poem, one is able to realize the significance of the Charge of the Light Brigade, and how

Chamberlain Alfred, Lord Tennyson was born in Somersby, Lincolnshire, England on August 6, 1809. He was one of his family’s 11 children.

Tennyson’s father was a church rector who earned a decent income, but because of the size of the family, there was high expenses. Meaning that Tennyson only attended Louth Grammar School, where he was bullied for a few years. The rest of his education was overseen by his father. Tennyson and

How does Tennyson use the story of the Lady of Shalott to reflect on the situation of the artist in modern times? Lord Tennyson perfectly describes the situation of the artist, in the sense that an artist should find himself in solitude, perfect silence and isolation. This seems to be the perfect environment for a poet, as if the whole world disappears and he is alone with his thoughts. But we can also admit that it is not the poet’s volition to be isolated in order to create and to be imaginative

I am going to compare two poems. One is by Wilfred Owen and the other by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. Dulce et Decorum, Owens poem, is set in the first world war, describing the trench warfare and a gruesome gas attack. Charge of the Light Brigade, Tennyson’s poem, is set in the Crimean war with the fatal charge of the Light Brigade. Both poems are about conflict with the opposing side in war. The use of vocabulary is different in each poem. In the poem, Dulce et Decorum, more modern language

Perhaps no other sentiment is so prevalent in poetry, as that of love. The mere word brings to mind images of romantic affection, lovers entangled in each other’s arms, stolen sidelong glances, whispered words of endearment, and an all-encompassing emotion that transcends the physical, an emotion that is experienced within all realms of being. However, in both life and poetry, the more joyous sentiments of love are often accompanied by images of loss and heartache, a contrast which heightens the

the Romantic Period. This period consisted of a literary movement which produced many artistic works that were thought to have a historical basis. Two of these works were Le Morte d’Arthur, by Sir Thomas Malory, and “The Lady of Shalott,” by Alfred Lord Tennyson. Although the works Le Morte d’Arthur and “The Lady of Shalott” convey differences in chivalric codes, they share similarities in the view of death through the disheartening language used to project a tragedy as well as the foreshadowing elements

Brigade’ by Alfred Lord Tennyson written in 1854 during the Victorian Era. Alfred Lord Tennyson, author of “Charge of the Light Brigade” was born in 1809 in Lincolnshire England, during the Victorian Era. Tennyson had what could be called a chaotic childhood, with his father taking out his anger and disappointment out on his kids and wife. This chaotic upbringing could have influenced why he wrote poems about madness, murder, estrangements and social climbing. It is perceived that Tennyson wrote

Throughout literary history there has been an abundance of female characters who seem to embody a single stereotype. Alfred Lord Tennyson’s The Lady of Shalott is an extremely influential literary ballad with a protagonist who exemplifies the idea of a ‘pure woman’. By analysing Tennyson’s work, we can come to recognise how Tennyson constructs this feminine image and how this portrayal has influenced and appeared in other literary works. This concept of a pure women represents a very one dimensional

In Victorian England, Lord Alfred Tennyson was one of the most prominent figures in literature. His writings highlighted the society he lived in and at the same time revealed his inner thoughts and views. During this period, Tennyson wrote the poem In Memoriam A. H. H. after his friend Arthur Hallam unexpectedly died. Tennyson structured the poem in iambic tetrameter, and it contained over 100 sections that each tells a separate facet of Tennyson’s feelings during this time. Even though he wrote
