Tennyson

Alfred Lord Tennyson (1809-1892) was a distinguished English poet and the Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom during much of Queen Victoria's reign. He is known for his rich imagery and exploration of themes like nature, love, and moral dilemmas. Tennyson's notable works include "The Charge of the Light Brigade," which reflects on heroism and sacrifice, and "In Memoriam," an elegy mourning his close friend Arthur Hallam. His poetry often combines a musical quality with deep emotional resonance, making him one of the most popular and influential poets of the Victorian era.
