Alfred Lord Tennyson-Poems

Alfred Lord Tennyson-Poems 

By: Alfred Lord Tennyson

Tennyson, one of twelve Children and later a first baron, was born in Somersby, Lincolnshire. From 1875 he attended Louth Grammar School, followed, in 1827, by Trinity College, Cambridge where he made perhaps his greatest friendship ever with Arthur Hallam and joined the undergraduate club The Apostles. Here ini 1829, Tennyson having already published some Poems, prior to 1827, anonymously in the ironically entitled Poems by Two Brothers (actually written by Alfred, Fredericck and Charles) won the Chancellor’s Gold Medal for english with his Poems “Timbuctoo”. In 1830 Tennyson and Hallam, along with other Apostle members, travelled to Spain to help in he failed revolution against Ferdinand VII, after which, in 1831, the death of Tennyson’s father and the discovery of his debts led in part, to Tennyson’s leaving Cambridge without taking his degree.
