Abstract

Shahjahanpur Alfred Tennyson (1809-1892) was an English poet. He occupies a unique position in the history of English literature. Grierson calls him “the heir of the Romantic Revival” by virtue of the age he was born in and because of his own sensibility and imagination. He had “outgrown Byron, he found Shelley thin, but he had learned something from Coleridge and Keats, and tried to learn something from Wordsworth; and he had a solider backing of classical scholarship than any of them.” He has his interest in classical literature and its mythology. It had a special significance for him and he wrote a number of poems with myths as his subject.
